The Texas Legislative Council has published two reports of legislative interest:
 
This publication provides a summary of each bill that passed during the 2015 session, and categorizes each measure by subject. For Summary of Enactments reports for previous sessions, please see the library's session summaries page.
 
This publication provides information about statutory state agencies, interagency panels, advisory committees, and other state government entities that were created, restructured, or eliminated by the Legislature. The report provides the following information for each entity:
  • Name

The report also provides, in the appendix, a list of the entities affected by Tex. S.B. 219, 84th Leg., R.S., relating to the provision of health and human services in the state.
