Designating April as Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Month for a 10-year period ending in 2035.

Texas Senate Concurrent Resolution 2 (SCR2) proposes designating April as "Texas Silver-Haired Legislature Month" for a 10-year period ending in 2035. The resolution acknowledges the contributions of the Texas Silver-Haired Legislature (TSHL), a non-partisan body of citizens aged 60 and above, established in 1985. TSHL members advocate for issues impacting older adults, such as pension security, senior abuse prevention, and public safety initiatives like the Silver Alert program. The resolution aims to recognize and honor the TSHL's role in promoting good governance and civic engagement among older Texans.

While specific media coverage of SCR2 is limited, the bill's intent to honor the TSHL aligns with previous positive media attention toward the organization. For instance, in 2015, the Houston Chronicle reported on the TSHL's training session, highlighting its role in advocating for senior citizens' issues. ([chron.com](https://www.chron.com/life/health/article/Texas-Silver-Haired-Legislature-meets-9854609.php?utm_source=openai)) This suggests that the bill may receive favorable coverage for recognizing the TSHL's contributions.

There is no specific negative media coverage of SCR2. However, some may question the necessity of designating a specific month for the TSHL, considering the organization's ongoing advocacy efforts. Additionally, the bill's partisan sponsorship by Senator Peter Flores, a Republican, might lead to partisan debates regarding its passage.
