New Texas Bill for Gulf Coast Protection Projects Funding Rejected Over Technical Wording

A new Texas bill called House Bill 2416, aiming to provide a funding account for the future protection projects of the Gulf Coast, was vetoed due to some issues regarding technical wording found inside the new Texas bill.

Under the new Texas bill, lawmakers also seek to allow extra funds for the Gulf Coast protection projects that need sufficient funding and investments as the new Texas bill also aims to protect various parts of Texas when hurricanes and severe storms hit the state.

However, Texas Governor had to veto the new Texas bill due to some concerns about how the bill was poorly written despite receiving lots of support from other lawmakers because of how the state would greatly benefit if the new Texas bill passed into law and implemented.
