| Description | Senate Republicans on Tuesday voted to begin assessing fines against their boycotting colleagues on Wednesday.
The fine, formally proposed by Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, would begin at $1,000 at 4 p.m. Wednesday. It would double to $2,000 on Thursday; $4,000 on Friday and then hit a cap of $5,000 a day as long as the boycotting members did not come back. The order specifies that money must come from their personal funds, not their campaign coffers.
