AND REFERRAL TO COMMITTEES

Bills and joint resolutions were at this time laid before the house, read first time, and referred to committees. (See the addendum to the daily journal, Referred to Committees, List No. 1.)

REGULAR ORDER OF BUSINESS SUSPENDED

On motion of Representative Workman and by unanimous consent, the reading and referral of bills was postponed until just prior to final adjournment.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY

REPRESENTATIVE WALLE: Before we move forward, I've been sitting at the back at my desk listening to the debate all day. I just want to get an understanding of what's happened and what's going to happen since we've adjourned. And in reference to the motion that Chairwoman S. Thompson made, are we going to go to––I know she actually withdrew her motion. Where do we stand as of now moving forward with the rest of the calendar?

CHAIR (Speaker pro tempore in the chair): Representative S. Thompson has withdrawn her motion, so we are moving forward as if the motion did not occur.

WALLE: And so those 20 bills or those members that had those bills knocked off the local, those are not coming back, for all intents and purposes?

CHAIR: No, not today, they're not.

WALLE: Not today––you're correct about that.

CHAIR: Correct, not today.

WALLE: So we're going to move on to the normal scheduled calendar, is that fair?

CHAIR: Yes. I think your question is, will we proceed as we normally would from here? The answer is yes.

WALLE: There's no intent to bring those 20 bills back up then? Today?

CHAIR: Today there is not, because, as you know, those bills would go to the next local calendar. Most of them would go to the next local calendar. Some could go into the general Calendars Committee.

WALLE: Right, because they have been knocked off twice, I think.

CHAIR: Well, I'm not––maybe some. The chair is not advised specifically on those 20.

WALLE: It would have been unprecedented to do something like that, the motion that Ms. Thompson did, is that a fair statement?

CHAIR: No, actually, we do those type of motions somewhat regularly.

WALLE: Somewhat regularly, okay. I just want to understand––let the body understand that those local bills and what happens on those local bills, that's how we hold each other accountable. Is that a fair statement? The rules that apply to those local bills as it relates to members––I'll just say that's how we hold each other accountable. In reference to when somebody is actually trying to mess with one of your bills, if you will, you have an opportunity as a member to either negotiate with that other member or at least have a talk about that other member's bill, as it may or may not be on the local calendar.

CHAIR: That's outside of the parliamentary process.

WALLE: Okay, right. Just like in baseball, you have unwritten rules? We have unwritten rules here.

CHAIR: I know even less about the baseball rules.

WALLE: Are you aware that when one of your team members is in the batter's box and gets hit intentionally that somebody––your pitcher on your team would probably go after that other team member in the next inning?

CHAIR: I don't believe that's a proper parliamentary inquiry.

WALLE: It's an unwritten rule, right? There are unwritten rules not in our House Rules that allow us to hold each other accountable.

CHAIR: The parliamentarian and the chair are completely unaware of any such rules.

WALLE: Thank you, I appreciate your time.

ADDRESS BY REPRESENTATIVE GIDDINGS
ON A MATTER OF PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

The chair recognized Representative Giddings who addressed the house on a matter of personal privilege, speaking as follows:

I'm not sure what we did on local and consent this morning, and I sure don't know why we did what we did. And let me say, before I begin, that I have a very soft spot in my heart for children. It's my highest priority in this legislature. So if I shed a tear, it'll be okay, because I'm soft enough to cry when I think a child is hurting, but I'm tough enough to fight for them until hell freezes over.

This morning, Mr. Cain, Mr. Rinaldi, Mr. Tinderholt, Mr. Stickland, and Mr. Biedermann knocked off HB 2159, which was intended to give some students relief from going hungry at lunch––to keep them from being embarrassed and to keep them from being labeled. That bill for those food-insecure children deserved a debate on this house floor. And while I personally have never knocked a bill off local and consent in all of my years here, I know it is within our rules to collect five signatures or talk for 10 minutes, and I respect a member's right to do that. However, to take the action that was taken on this floor today on this bill for hungry children was unconscionable. Some of the children this bill intended to help are from families just above the poverty line. Some are from families where a wage earner has perhaps lost a job or had some other family emergency. Some are from a family where someone, for whatever reason, forgot to pay. Whatever the circumstance, we should not want these children to go without lunch.

The bill simply asks school boards to set up a grace period of whatever time frame they deem appropriate. It could be one day. It could be two days. It could be two weeks. But within that time frame, the bill asks that the child's parents be contacted and to try and determine whether or not that child might be eligible for a free or reduced lunch. It allowed them to set up a methodology to receive donations for kids in these circumstances. And I ask, what is so terrible about that? I have, since this bill became a news story, a letter from a principal. A Dr. Alston in Dallas went to several schools when he heard this story and paid the lunch accounts for kids. One of the schools that he went to was Audelia Creek Elementary on Audelia Road in Dallas. I won't read you the whole letter that the principal wrote to Dr. Alston, but he did say, "On behalf of Audelia Creek Elementary, we sincerely thank you for your generosity in helping to provide lunch for children who had no funds in their cafeteria account. With your donation, we were able to supplement the account of 36 children who are in arrears and put enough money in their accounts to feed them for at least a week." And this is signed by that principal, Michael Savage, and it's dated April 26.

Let me tell you what happens now without this bill. A child goes through the cafeteria line, chooses a lunch, goes to the cashier, gives the cashier their PIN, and in many school districts if that account has no money, that lunch is taken. It is thrown in the trash. That lunch is taken, and it's thrown in the trash, often in the face of that child. Some of these children are as young as four. Let me tell you, to those of you who believe that this isn't true, I have the statement from a very brave teacher here, Kelvin Holt, a teacher in the Copperas Cove School District, who said this, "One of my four-year-olds slid her meal tray down to the cashier in order to pay for her meal, but instead what she heard was an emphatic 'you have no money,' followed by the removal of her meal tray. The student then sat at the table assigned to her class and was inconsolable for the next 20 minutes while her classmates enjoyed their meal." That's from teacher Kelvin Holt.

Another teacher said, and this teacher is Christopher Robinson in the Houston area, "When I saw that, it just shook me. You get bullied for stuff like that." Not to mention what one of the students said. Dakota Gibson, who is a student in Spring Branch said, "When it happened to me, I just wanted to go into a corner and hide." Now, the hot meal is thrown into the trash, and the student is given the equivalent of this milk, these crackers, and this cheese. And I ask you, how humane is that? And would you want that to happen to your child? What message are we sending that child? A message that you don't matter, that you have no value, that you have no worth. We have embarrassed that child, and we may be affecting how that child sees their value and their worth for the rest of their lives.

I've talked to some members on this floor, and we are all privileged in here now. But some of us were not always privileged. Some of us have been food-insecure. For some legislators, what we do here on this floor, for me, seems to be an in-outside-out game, a power play. There are a few people in this chamber who believe that they alone can transform Texas, and that's a political illusion. We need to take a reality check. These legislators, in my opinion, are not about searching for the truth and giving kids an equal chance. They're about winning at any cost, even when the cost results in a child going hungry.

I don't know why you came to this Texas Legislature, but my highest priority, as I said before, is to help our children reach their full potential. And while we may not all agree on this, I firmly believe that they are all our children. But for some folks here, it's about a primary, it's about a scorecard. It's about the spin. It's about the power. And let me just say that I am not confused. Everyone here is both powerful and privileged. How could you not be? Out of 26 million people in this state, 150 of us have been chosen to lead in this Texas House. So what are we going to do with that power and that privilege? What are we going to do about our children? We say many times in this house that we are servant-leaders. Well, one of the questions that servant-leaders always ask themselves is, "Because of this action I am taking, will those I serve be happier? Will they be healthier? Will they be more autonomous?" And perhaps most importantly, servant-leaders ask themselves this question, "Will the least of those be no worse off because of this action I am taking?" And I will tell you, because of the action that we took, children in Texas are going to be worse off.

You and I and our families don't face hunger because we're privileged. But remember, there but for the grace of God go I. In the end, it ain't power, it ain't privilege that really defines us. It's character. It's kindness. It's love. Members, we can do better for our children. They deserve better, and I personally believe that the hottest places in hell are reserved for those who harm our children. Again, I think we've harmed our children today. I close by saying, God bless all of the children of Texas today. And we especially ask that he bless those children who are hungry. Thank you, members.

AMENDMENT NO. 4 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE ISAAC: Representative Klick, yesterday I had an amendment to your amendment to protect families such as the Zartler family from Representative Koop's district that are using medicine that they believe helps their daughter.

REPRESENTATIVE KLICK: Correct.

ISAAC: And CPS has agreed not to separate the family from Kara. And is it your intent that this remains the case? That this not only protects the Zartler family but also CPS workers?

KLICK: It is. You know, these families are in very difficult circumstances. They have very sick children.

ISAAC: And that's regardless of the passage of HB 2107?

KLICK: That's correct. If that bill does not pass, then there's still language that will go in place.

ISAAC: And it's your intent that that language would protect the Zartler family and maybe some other families here in the State of Texas?

KLICK: Yes.

REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED

Representative Isaac moved to print remarks between Representative Klick and Representative Isaac.

The motion prevailed.

Amendment No. 4 was adopted.

Sec. 17.463. PRODUCTION, SALE, DISTRIBUTION, OR PROMOTION OF CERTAIN SYNTHETIC SUBSTANCES. (a) This section applies only to an act described by Section 17.46(b)(31).

HB 3103 ON THIRD READING
(by Darby)

HB 3103, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the jurisdiction of this state to tax tangible personal property that is used continually in this state.

HB 3103 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE ANCHIA: So these were forwarded to me by the county. I just want to make sure that we're not messing with the home counties. When the Dallas County Appraisal District began including any vehicles that cross the state line en route to a company's maintenance facility as real property––would it increase their property tax bill under your proposed bill?

REPRESENTATIVE DARBY: What this bill simply does is it codifies and clarifies, if you will, the existing comptroller's interpretation of what "used continuously in this state" means. I think perhaps Dallas County may have, if it simply came into the state, I think the Dallas County Appraisal District was using that as enough connection to start taxing it.

ANCHIA: So would your bill reduce the revenue available to Dallas County?

DARBY: Well, of course, all these taxes are subject to apportionment on the amount of taxes that they use in the state. But what it does is, it does not allow a single county to interpret the rule differently than the other tax appraisal districts in the state.

ANCHIA: So your bill simply tries to eliminate irregularities between tax law and how that tax law is being applied by specific counties?

DARBY: That's correct.

REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED

Representative Anchia moved to print remarks between Representative Darby and Representative Anchia.

HB 3150, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to a merchant allowing a person suspected of committing or attempting to commit theft to complete a theft education program.

HB 3150 was read third time earlier today and was postponed until this time.

HB 3150 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE MOODY: Representative Burns, I know you've worked with several members on this bill, and I just want to clarify the amendment that was placed on second reading which adjusted the indigency provisions in the bill. Can you––and I think we're on the same page now. I just want to make sure we explain that fully to the members and why we––there was a fee cap originally in the bill. That's removed, and we go––what I think now is some language that is a little bit stricter on indigent requirements and how those providers can waive the fee entirely.

REPRESENTATIVE BURNS: Correct. We wanted to make sure that the inability to pay did not keep someone from being able to take advantage of this totally permissive program that the retailers are offering. You bet. So we put that the program provider shall develop a plan to offer discounts, alternative payment schedules, scholarship funds, et cetera, to a person who the provider has verified is indigent or may even reduce or waive the fee for the program based on the ability of the person to pay.

MOODY: And based on our discussions, the verification of indigency is going to be based on what?

BURNS: The federal indigent level, and that is a statement of income. That's the way it's done today.

MOODY: The federal poverty guidelines?

BURNS: Yes, federal poverty guidelines.

HB 731 ON THIRD READING
(by Bohac)

HB 731, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to creating the offense of intimidation by a member of a criminal street gang.

(Ashby, Howard, Hunter, Kacal, Paddie, and Phelan now present)

HB 731 - POINT OF ORDER

Representative Rose raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 731 under Rule 8, Section 1(c) of the House Rules on the grounds that the bill caption is inaccurate.

The speaker sustained the point of order and submitted the following statement:

Under Rule 8, Section 1(c) of the House Rules, "A house bill that would create a criminal offense or category of offenses . . . must include a short statement at the end of its title or caption indicating the general effect of the bill on the offense . . . ."

HB 731 punishes members of criminal street gangs who make certain threats against a person with the intent to influence that person's behavior by making intimidation a third degree felony criminal offense. Representative Rose argues that the bill caption is flawed because it does not expressly state that the bill "creates a criminal offense" as reflected in the bill analysis. The caption of HB 731 reads: "relating to creating the offense of intimidation by a member of a criminal street gang." This bill increases the offense of intimidation to a third degree felony and, as such, the caption should have included the proper classification of "criminal offense." Consequently, this oversight is a clear violation Rule 8, Section 1(c). See 85 H.J. Reg. 2130-2131 (2017) (Tinderholt point of order on HB 1156); 84 H.J. Reg. 3086-3087 (2015) (Tinderholt, Rinaldi point of order on CSSB 97); 84 H.J. Reg. 1999-2000 (2015) (Stickland point of order on CSHB 409). In the first ruling on the same subject matter:

The chair notes that this defect has the potential to impact 32 house bills that were introduced with the vague phrase "creating an offense" in the caption as well as any other bill the caption for which has been amended to contain this phrase. Most of the introduced house bills creating a criminal offense appear to have a correct caption. For those that do not, members who believe a point of order will be called on their bill may wish to amend their bill's caption in committee or, if a senate companion exists, seek to pass the senate bills, which are not bound by the house's caption rules in Rule 8, Section 1(b)-(d).

Further, it should be noted that the Section 3.03 of the Texas Legislative Council's Legislative Drafting Manual explains what needs to be included in a bill caption. The Texas Legislative Council notes that provisions regarding costs and fees (along with criminal penalties and occupational fees) are items receiving special attention to when drafting captions:

(g) Council drafting convention. In addition to or as part of expressing the bill's subject, the legislative council staff has adopted a drafting convention of giving notice of the following in the caption:

the imposition of civil, administrative, or criminal penalties . . .

If the rules of the house or senate require inclusion of specific provisions in the caption (see Subsection (a)), a draft should comply with those rules. In the absence of applicable caption rules, follow the drafting conventions above.

In many cases, the notice may be as simple as adding "; making an appropriation" or "; providing criminal penalties" to the caption. In other cases, the notice may be given as part of the general description of the bill's subject. A caption is sufficient for these purposes, regardless of form, if clear notice of the listed issues is given in the caption.

A parliamentary inquiry arose after the ruling, citing 84 H.J. Reg. 4687 (2015). The Texas Legislative Information System applied a mechanical action and noted that the bill was returned to committee. The net effect of sustaining the point of order was that further consideration of the bill was precluded because of end of session deadlines. However, a different outcome was possible. "Because the bill becomes the work of the body after the body passes it to third reading, most points of order, except those of a constitutional nature, are scrubbed." However, improper captions are a constitutional matter. Section 35(b) of the Texas Constitution states that, "[t]he rules of procedure of each house shall require that the subject of each bill be expressed in its title in a manner that gives the legislature and the public reasonable notice of that subject." House members have adopted specific rules delineating what notice they require for this body's bills. In this case, the chair returned the bill to the origin of the error prior to third reading of the bill. The committee had the responsibility, if it chose to do so, with outfitting the bill with an accurate caption that properly conformed to the House Rules.

For these reasons, and after a thorough review of the bill, its caption, and the bill analysis, the point of order is sustained.

HB 731 was returned to the Committee on Criminal Jurisprudence.

CSHB 3859 - POINT OF ORDER

Representatives E. Rodriguez and Moody raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 3859 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2) of the House Rules on the grounds that the bill analysis is incorrect.

HOUSE AT EASE

At 9:09 p.m., the chair announced that the house would stand at ease.

The chair called the house to order at 9:19 p.m.

CSHB 3859 - POINT OF ORDER DISPOSITION

The chair overruled the point of order and submitted the following statement:

Representatives E. Rodriguez and Moody argue that the bill analysis for CSHB 3859 is flawed in several ways. They argue that the bill analysis is substantially misleading because it broadly describes the bill's specific prohibition of discrimination based on a list of four items. Specifically, they argue that only the first item on the list pertains to a child welfare service provider's “sincerely held religious belief,” and that the other items on the list do not mention “sincerely held religious beliefs.” Additionally, they argue that the bill analysis's use of the word “includes” regarding what is an exhaustive list in the bill is substantially misleading.

Additionally, Representatives E. Rodriguez and Moody argue that the bill analysis fails to account for the bill's protections of a provider's future intentions. Lastly, Representatives E. Rodriguez and Moody argue that the bill analysis omits an element of the cause of action. The chair has reviewed the bill, the bill analysis, and house precedent, and finds that the bill analysis complies with Rule 4, Section 32. See 84 H.J. Reg. 3380 (2015) (Collier point of order on CSHB 3994); 84 H.J. Reg. 3369 (2015) (Walle point of order on CSHB 1798); 84 H.J. Reg. 3368 (2015) (González point of order on CSHB 1798). The bill is not in error or substantially misleading.

Amendment No. 5

Representative Hinojosa offered the following amendment to CSHB 3859:

Amend CSHB 3859 (house committee printing) by striking page 1, line 21 through page 2, line 12, and substituting the following:

(1) "Adverse action" means, with respect to a child welfare services provider, any action that materially alters the provider's license under a state program, including any of the following:

(A) taking an enforcement action against a license holder;

(B) refusing to issue a license;

(D) revoking a license; or

(E) suspending a license.

Amendment No. 5 failed of adoption by (Record 1106): 54 Yeas, 91 Nays, 2 Present, not voting.

CSHB 3859 - POINTS OF ORDER

Representative Turner raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 3859 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2) of the House Rules on the grounds that the committee report is incorrect.

The chair overruled the point of order and submitted the following statement:

Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2) of the House Rules requires each committee report to “include in summary or section-by-section form a detailed analysis of the subject matter of the bill,” including “an analysis of the content of the bill or resolution.” Representative Turner observes that the first sentence of the bill analysis does not include a “person that contracts with this state or operates under governmental authority.” While this is true, the oversight, if any, was cured by the third sentence, “The bill prohibits a governmental entity or any person that contracts with the state . . . .” While the first sentence of the bill analysis could have been more helpful and informative, the chair, having reviewed the entire bill, the entire bill analysis, and house precedents, finds that the bill analysis neither ran afoul of Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2) nor materially misleading or incorrect and complies with the provisions of the rule.

Representative Ortega raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 3859 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2) of the House Rules on the grounds that the bill analysis is incorrect.

The chair overruled the point of order and submitted the following statement:

Representative Ortega argues that the bill analysis for CSHB 3859 is flawed in that it fails to discuss that the chapter may not be construed to prohibit the department from exercising its duty as the child's managing conservator to make decisions in the child's best interest. This is incorrect, in proposed Section 45.001 and added Section 45.009(h), Human Resources Code. While the bill analysis does not use the words “managing conservator” verbatim (and is not required to), the bill analysis discusses the relevant sections.

Additionally, the side-by-side comparison of the original and substitute bill language shows the language was added in the committee substitute. Both the bill analysis and the side-by-side comparison are sufficient to make people aware of these section's existence. Because a bill analysis is not required to restate the bill word for word, and the side-by-side makes people aware of the language's existence, the bill analysis is not substantially misleading. 84 H.J. Reg. 4442-4443 Rinaldi (2015) (discussing the multiple times Rule 4, Section 32 points of order have been raised). 83 H.J. Reg. 4060 (2013) (González point of order asserting that a bill analysis is unhelpful when it restates the bill to such an extent that the analysis does not actually provide any independent analysis).

After reviewing the bill, the complete analysis, and house precedents, the chair finds that the bill analysis does not deceive or mislead and complies with the requirements of Rule 4, Section 32. Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.

Amendment No. 6

Representative Hinojosa offered the following amendment to CSHB 3859:

Amend CSHB 3859 (house committee printing) on page 3, by striking lines 14-19, and substituting the following:

(4) "Child welfare services provider" means a private child-care facility that:

(A) does not receive federal or state funds; and

(B) receives children for the placement or places or arranges for the placement of children in adoptive or foster family homes apart from the custody of the child's parents.
