Texas Is In ! Drops It’s Bill

by Marley Greiner

As I mentioned Monday, Texas was about to drop a clean bill for the 2023-2024 session. It’s up and out!

HB2006. sponsored by Rep Cody Harris, is nearly identical to 2021’s HB1386  That bill passed the House with flying colors. 144-1! Despite overwhelming support in the Senate, it did not receive a hearing because…well, because it’s Texas.

HB2006  is this simple:  It restores the right of all Texas-born adoptees to their original pre-adoptive birth certificates, without restrictions or conditions.

Bastard Nation is a proud partner of the Texas Adoptee Rights Coalition and was boots on the ground in Austin two years ago, and we will be there this year.

Shawna Hodgson (Spokesperson TxARC) and Marley Greiner (ExeChair)Bastard Nation,) Texas State House, March 2021  after HB1386  hearing. Covid didn’t stop us then, and a handful of politicians won’t stop us now.

Texas is a key state!

Let’s get to work now!

On a personal note, I now live in Corpus Christi. .f there is anyone in the area who would like to meet up with me,that would be great.  Just drop me a line here.

…Marley Greiner, Executive Chair
