Immigration Biedermann supported SB 1252, otherwise known as the Interstate Compact for Border Security, which would have given the State of Texas the power to enforce the State's own border protection laws. In addition, he voted in favor of the Schaefer Amendment of SB 4 which banned Sanctuary Cities and fully funded an increase in border security funding. Biedermann also voted to end benefits for illegal immigrants as well as penalizing employers who do not use E-Verify and allow law enforcement to check the legal status of detained individuals.
Abortion Biedermann describes himself as
pro-life, voting on numerous pieces of legislation to restrict or prohibit the practice of abortion in the state of Texas. He voted in favor of Amendment 76 (Krause Amend.) of SB1 which increased funding for the Alternatives to Abortion Program by $20,000,000. He also voted on the 2nd and 22nd Amendment of SB 8 which would have banned a procedure known as "dismemberment abortions" and the abolishment of late term abortions for children with disabilities (respectively).
Property Tax Reform A strong supporter of property tax reform, Biedermann has voted on multiple pieces of legislation regarding the reformation of current property tax plans in the state of Texas. He voted against HB 486, a bill that would have made it easier for school districts to raise property taxes without first getting voter approval. He voted against SB 1 RV No. 164, a motion that killed 3 amendments that would have expanded property tax reform. Additionally, he voted in favor of HB 208 RV No. 155, a bill designed to cap growth in state spending at the rise of population plus inflation.
Secession Biedermann is in favor of the
secession of Texas from the Union. In late 2020, he said he was committed to submitting a bill to the legislature to begin the process. On January 26, 2021, Biedermann filed the Texas Independence Referendum Act (HB 1359), a bill to allow for a state referendum on secession. == Legislative Ratings ==
