At a time when families are stretching their budgets and our environment needs real solutions, we believe smart policy can do both: protect our natural resources and boost our economy. That’s exactly what our deposit refund proposal does — putting a free-market approach to recycling into action.Last week, we were proud to see the Texas Senate take up SB 728, our bill to establish a no-tax, industry-driven container deposit refund system. Now, we’re thrilled to announce that the House companion bill, HB 2048, will receive a hearing later this week.
This is a big moment for Texas — and we want to make sure your voice is heard. If you can’t attend the hearing in person, you can submit a public comment online here.
Together, we can keep Texas clean, reducing litter and pollution while supporting a stronger domestic supply chain — all without growing government or raising taxes.
For more about this, Dr. Raymond Robertson of Texas A&M spoke with Texas Talks. You can view the video here.
Let’s make this Earth Day count.
Sincerely,
Maia Corbitt
