Sen. Lois W. Kolkhorst said while changes are made, the measure is needed to protect national security assets around the state from Russia, China, North Korea and Iran.
Texas Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, , in pink, gavels in the Senate Committee on Health and Human Services on the floor of the Senate Chambers, Monday, July 12, 2021. Only Republicans were present for the hearing on SB2, a ban transgender students from competing on sports teams aligning w their gender identity.
Sen. Lois Kolkhorst said Thursday she would submit a revamped bill that makes clear the prohibitions do not apply to American citizens and lawful permanent residents, including dual citizens. The bill also won’t include prohibiting real estate holdings that include homesteads, which she said would address concerns of people who’ve fled the authoritarian regimes and want to reside in Texas.
The original bill would have barred government entities, businesses and citizens from the four countries from buying land in Texas. Gov. Greg Abbott recently barred government agencies from putting the popular app TikTok on state computers or devices because its parent company is a Chinese entity. Concerns were raised that the communist government in Beijing could force TikTok to hand over information collected on Americans.
