The Senate Committee on Business and Commerce convened on May 23, 2025, but was unable to conduct official business due to a lack of quorum. Despite the absence of a full committee, discussions began informally, highlighting the challenges faced by senators and their staff, who were described as sleep-deprived and worn out.

Chairman Schwartner initiated the meeting, emphasizing the importance of public participation by inviting individuals to register their positions on bills listed in the agenda. The first item discussed was House Bill 3005, presented by Senator Campbell, who took the opportunity to explain the bill's provisions and objectives.

While the meeting lacked formal decisions, the discussions set the stage for future legislative actions. The committee's focus on public engagement and the introduction of significant bills like House Bill 3005 indicate a commitment to addressing business and commerce issues in Texas. As the session progresses, stakeholders will be keenly watching how these discussions translate into actionable policies that impact the community.
