Gov. Rick Perry today announced he will be calling a special legislative session to begin Wednesday July 1 at 10 a.m. On the call will be:

*Continuing the five state agencies whose sunset bills did not pass the Legislature in the regular session and face abolition. The agencies are: the Texas Department of Transportation, Texas Department of Insurance, Texas Racing Commission, Office of Public Insurance Counsel and Texas State Affordable Housing Corporation. Also, Perry wants the legislators to change the review schedule for certain state agencies to balance the Sunset Advisory Commission’s workload, which would be all but unmanageable in 2010 otherwise;

*Allowing TxDOT to issue general obligation bonds, which the voters approved in Proposition 12, for highway improvement projects, and for the creation, administration, financing and use of a Texas Transportation Revolving Fund to provide financial assistance for transportation projects; and

*Continuing comprehensive development agreements by TxDOT and regional mobility authorities, to design, finance, build and maintain transportation infrastructure. This will probably turn out to be the most controversial item on the call.
