The House sponsors had hoped to, but the support wasn't there.

In 2005, King was the House sponsor of Senate Bill 5, which modernized Texas telecommunications laws.

Unfortunately, the House sponsor killed the bill before it could be heard.

Dr. Heller was one of four House sponsors of the bill.

But House sponsors are more optimistic this time.

Berman was the House sponsor of the 1986 False Claims Act that authorized civil litigation by whistleblowers.

Johnson was the House sponsor of legislation to create a federal charter for the American Legion.

She was also the House sponsor of a Senate bill to impose new energy-efficiency standards on state buildings.

The House sponsors preparing to debate the bill were heartened by a favorable advisory opinion that the state attorney general issued today.

House sponsors of the stripped-down measure said it was a principled last-minute effort to present the Senate with a bankruptcy bill unencumbered by abortion politics.
