Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick Announces Senate Select Committee on Religious Liberty

AUSTIN - Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick today created the Senate Select Committee on Religious Liberty, to be chaired by Sen. Phil King, R-Weatherford. Upon creating the committee, Lt. Gov. Patrick issued the following statement:

"For the past year, I have had the honor of serving as Chairman of President Trump's Religious Liberty Commission in Washington, D.C. Through the Commission's important work, I have learned that many Americans, and Texans alike, do not fully understand their God-given religious liberty rights secured under the First Amendment. Today, I am appointing the Senate Select Committee on Religious Liberty to find ways to educate Texans on their religious liberty rights and to make sure Texans do not have those rights infringed upon."
