Sen. Charles Perry introduced SB 2845, a bill on Parks & Wildlife, to the Texas Senate on Monday, April 7 during the 89(R) legislative session, according to the Texas Legislature website.

More specifically, the official text was summarized by the state legislature as ’’Relating to the voluntary removal of either a breeder deer's identification tag or button tag on liberation of the breeder deer onto a release site’’.

The following is our breakdown, based on the actual bill text, and may include interpretation to clarify its provisions.

This bill amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to allow the voluntary removal of either the identification tag or button tag from a breeder deer upon its release onto a release site. Specifically, it permits the removal of one of these tags—both cannot be removed—if the breeder deer has an electronic identification device in the form of a button tag attached as outlined in the existing law. The provisions aim to offer a degree of flexibility in the identification requirements while ensuring some form of tracking remains. The effective date for this bill is set for Sept. 1, 2025.

Charles Perry, chair of the Senate Committee on Water, Agriculture and Rural Affairs, member of the Senate Committee on Transportation, and vice chair of the Senate Committee on Health & Human Services, proposed another 44 bills during the 89(R) legislative session.

Perry graduated from Texas Tech University in 1984 with a BBA.

Charles Perry is currently serving in the Texas State Senate, representing the state's 28th Senate district. He replaced previous state senator Robert L. Duncan in 2014.

Bills in Texas go through a multi-step legislative process, including committee review, debates, and votes in both chambers before reaching a final decision. Each session, there are typically thousands of bills introduced, but only a portion successfully navigate the process to become law.
