BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - The Texas Senate Committee on State Affairs passed Senate Bill 5 on Thursday, advancing the bill to the next stage of the legislative process. It was a near-unanimous vote, with only one member of the 12-person committee voting ‘no.’

Just weeks after the governor vetoed a bill banning products containing THC, state senators revived it in the special session, filing nearly identical legislation and passing it unanimously out of committee with a 10-0 vote on Tuesday.
