This resolution creates a five-member general investigating committee on disaster response within the House of Representatives of the 89th Legislature's 2nd Called Session. The committee, whose members will be appointed by the House Speaker (who will also designate the chair and vice-chair), is specifically charged with conducting comprehensive inquiries into the 2025 flooding disasters. The committee's investigative scope includes examining the factors that contributed to the floods, evaluating the allocation and effectiveness of flood disaster preparedness and response resources, and assessing the operations and inter-governmental coordination among local, state, and federal entities in flood prevention, disaster preparedness, and response. The resolution grants the committee full investigatory powers as defined by the house rules of procedure and Chapter 301 of the Government Code, enabling them to conduct a thorough and comprehensive investigation into the flood-related events and response efforts.
