Texas HB2702 prohibits certain limitations on the operation of organizations benefiting veterans during a declared state of disaster.

Texas HB2702 amends the Government Code to ensure that executive orders, proclamations, and regulations issued by the governor during a declared state of disaster cannot restrict the operation of organizations benefiting veterans. These organizations are exempt from federal taxation under Section 501(c)(19) of the Internal Revenue Code. The provision does not apply to executive orders, proclamations, or regulations issued during a natural disaster. The changes apply only to declarations of a state of disaster issued or renewed after the effective date of the Act.
