H.R. No. 1370 is a resolution recognizing Jessica Scheer from Texas City for her achievements as a member of the Texas Partners in Policymaking Class of 2025. This leadership training program, organized by the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, aims to empower individuals with developmental disabilities and their families to become advocates for policy change. Over seven months, participants learn about disability history, systems, and policy, and many go on to serve in various leadership roles. Ms. Scheer has notably created a capstone project focused on addressing the shortage of personal care attendants by advocating for better compensation and training for these professionals.

As a mother of two, including a son with autism, Ms. Scheer has been involved in advocacy since 2005, participating in various councils and programs to support families and individuals with disabilities. Through her involvement in the Texas Partners in Policymaking program, she has gained valuable knowledge and skills to drive positive change in her community. The resolution congratulates her on her graduation and expresses the Texas House of Representatives' best wishes for her future endeavors. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for Ms. Scheer as a token of high regard.
