State Representative Erin Zwiener files six new bills

By Sahar Chmais 

District 45 Representative Erin Zwiener has filed six additional legislation pieces which would affect a spectrum of residents. 

In the new bills, Zwiener offers an alternative writing assessment for Texas students, an incentive for nature-based infrastructure projects and a request to allow homeowners to pay for their property taxes quarterly instead of annually. The proposed bills will also give high-growth counties more control over the siting of rock quarries and other aggregate production operations and build on an existing dark skies Hotel Occupancy Tax bill.
