AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Key conservative priorities fizzled yet again as Texas lawmakers abruptly concluded their month-long special legislative session, despite Republicans controlling both chambers and every statewide office. Failing were such red-state, red-meat issues as a "bathroom bill" targeting transgender people, school vouchers, local property tax restrictions and limits on paycheck deductions for union dues. [...] proposals to make transgender Texans use public restrooms corresponding to the gender on their birth certificates stalled in the state House, where Republican Speaker Joe Straus maintained they'd hurt the state's economy. Business lobbying groups, backed by behemoths such as Apple, IBM, Exxon Mobile, Facebook and the NFL, branded the bill discriminatory, while almost daily rallies at the state Capitol mobilized police chiefs, chambers of commerce, religious groups, tourism industry leaders and women's organizations against it. The Texas House squashed a Senate-backed school voucher plan offering public money to students attending private schools during the regular session, and Abbott's efforts to revive the issue went nowhere over the past month. Texas became the 11th state to ban private insurance companies from covering abortion, forcing women undergoing one to buy supplemental coverage or pay out of pocket.
