DALLAS - In the final days of the legislative session, Texas lawmakers pushed forward two bills to address police funding.
One could penalize cities that cut public safety budgets. Another puts those budget cuts up for a public vote before they can be enacted.
The governor tweeted on Monday that he plans to sign them.
Two bills are very close to getting Gov. Greg Abbott s signature that would take aim at the calls to defund police during last year’s protests.
