Summary

Senate Resolution 66 designates January 28, 2009, as Texas Society of Certified Public Accountants Day at the Capitol.

Contention

Since this is a resolution and not a bill that amends existing laws, SR66 does not contain significant points of contention.

The focus remains on acknowledgment rather than contentious legislative debate.
