The speaker recognized Representative Hinojosa who introduced ThomasDaniel, senior pastor, Covenant Presbyterian, Austin, who offered the invocationas follows:

Lord God, as we gather here today, we need to first pause and give youthanks and praise. Thank you for this day that you have given us. Thank you forthis nation and this state in which we live and enjoy the glorious fruits offreedom. Thank you for our communities, our friends, our spouses, our children,and our grandchildren. Thank you that the men and women gathered in thishallowed hall have been entrusted by their communities to be theirrepresentatives in this seat of power. Thank you that we live in a time and in asociety in which the voice of every Texan, in all our diversity, may be heard,respected, and valued.

You have given us so much, and yet we confess we are not always goodstewards of your gifts. Sometimes we have failed to love our neighbor asourselves. Sometimes we are more interested in party than in the true merits ofpolicy. Sometimes we fail to do all that we can to care for the widow, the orphan,the marginalized, and the oppressed. Sometimes we are all less than our best, lessthan you call us to be.

But God, your grace is enough. We know that despite ourselves you keepshowing up. You promise us that you can use us, with all our gifts and all ouruncertainties, to build your kingdom and that your kingdom is real and is a truththat we can pursue and embody every single day. So we gather here with fullconfidence that a day is coming when every tear will be wiped away and everysoul will know its worth, a day when justice will roll down like waters andrighteousness like a mighty stream.

And so I thank you for your faithfulness to us. I give you thanks for eachperson sitting in this hall. I give you thanks that you have called them here, and Ipray for two specific things. First, I pray for wisdom. Fill each representative witha wisdom that comes from you, the wisdom to know your will. Give them thewisdom to know what doors of opportunity you are opening and what doors youare closing. And second, fill them with courage. Give them the courage not onlyto know your will, but to follow it even when it is hard. I pray that this day, thisbeautiful chamber, would be a beacon of divine wisdom and divine courage forthe flourishing of all who live in this state. I pray this in your name. Amen.

SB 312 ON THIRD READING(Gonzales, Burkett, Flynn, S. Thompson, and Raymond - House Sponsors)

SB 312, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the continuation andfunctions of the Texas Department of Transportation; authorizing an increase inrates charged for the use of state aircraft to provide for the acquisition ofreplacement aircraft.

Amendment No. 1

Representative Uresti offered the following amendment to SBi312:

Amend SBi312 on third reading by adding the following appropriatelynumbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of thebill accordingly:

SECTIONi____.iiSubchapter B, Chapter 225, Transportation Code, isamended by adding Section 225.130 to read as follows:

Sec.i225.130.iiHEROES OF HARLANDALE MEMORIAL HIGHWAY. (a)The portion of State Highway Spur 536 (Roosevelt Avenue) in Bexar Countybetween its intersection with Texas State Highway Loop 13 and InterstateHighway 410 is designated as the Heroes of Harlandale Memorial Highway.

(b)iiSubject to Section 225.021(c), the department shall:(1)iidesign and construct markers indicating the designation as the

Heroes of Harlandale Memorial Highway and any other appropriate information;and

(2)iierect a marker at each end of the highway and at appropriateintermediate sites along the highway.

Amendment No. 1 - Point of Order

Representative Huberty raised a point of order against further considerationof Amendment No. 1 under Rule 11, Section 6(g) of the House Rules on thegrounds that the amendment was not laid out 24 hours prior to the time the billwas eligible for consideration.

The chair sustained the point of order and submitted the followingstatement:

SBi312 is a sunset bill that would extend the Department of Transportation.Sunset-bill amendments are subject to Rulei11, Sectioni6(g) of the House Rules,which requires 10icopies of any amendment to be provided to the chief clerk andbe "available in the chief clerk ’s office at least 24 hours prior to the time thecalendar on which the bill or resolution to be amended is eligible forconsideration." Rulei11, Sectioni6(i) requires the Committee on HouseAdministration to ensure that "members of the public using the system availableon the Internet may view any amendment required to be provided to the chiefclerk under Rulei11, Sectioni6(e), (g), and (h) at least 10ihours prior to the timethe calendar on which the bill or resolution to be amended is eligible forconsideration." Amendment No.i1iwas not filed 24ihours prior to the time thecalendar on which SBi312 was eligible for consideration.


Because the house considers bills on third reading the day after those billsare passed on second reading, the calendar for third-reading of the sunset bill willalmost always fall before a full 24ihours after the second reading. This makes itnearly impossible for timely notice to be given for the third-reading amendment."Under strict enforcement of the rule, members would be required to fileamendments for third reading before a measure passes second reading, and thechief clerk would be required to post all amendments to which Sectioni6(i)(3)applies to the Internet at least 10ihours before a calendar containing the measureto be amended is eligible for consideration." See 84iH.J.iReg.i3713-3715i(2015)(Moody point of order on SBi206).

The chair, out of respect for the members, must enforce the rules the bodyadopts. The body, having been made aware of the impact of the rules onthird-reading sunset amendments as recently as last session, nonetheless adoptedthe same rules governing requirements for sunset amendments. The chair is onceagain compelled to sustain the point of order. See Rulei1, Sectioni9;84iH.J.iReg.i3713-3715i(2015) (Moody point of order on SBi206); see also75iH.J.iReg.i3809-3810i(1997) (Wohlgemuth point of order on SBi1500). If infuture sessions the body wishes to preserve the option of amending sunset billson third reading, the membership may wish to consider amending therequirements of Rulei11, Sectioni6(g) and (i)(3).

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 1.

SB 312 was passed by (Record 1296): 139 Yeas, 0 Nays, 2 Present, notvoting.

SB 1343 ON SECOND READING(Parker - House Sponsor)

SB 1343, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the prosecution of criminaloffenses regarding unauthorized recordings.

SB 1343 - POINT OF ORDER

Representative Stickland raised a point of order against further considerationof SB 1343 under Rule 4, Sectioni32(c) of the House Rules on the grounds thatthe bill analysis is incorrect.

The chair overruled the point of order and submitted the followingstatement:

Rule 4, Section 32(c)(4) of the House Rules requires the bill analysis toinclude "a statement indicating whether or not the bill or resolution expresslycreates a criminal offense, expressly increases the punishment for an existingcriminal offense or category of offenses, or expressly changes the eligibility of aperson for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision."Representative Stickland argues that SBi1343 adds a criminal punishment.Specifically, Representative Stickland argues that pagei2iof the bill expresslycreates a criminal offense that was not present before. Because the bill analysisstates that SBi1343 neither creates a new criminal offense nor expressly increasesthe punishment for an existing criminal offense, Representative Stickland arguesthat the bill analysis does not comply with Rulei4, Sectioni32(c)(4).

SBi1343 deals with the prosecution of criminal offenses for unauthorizedrecordings. An offense which already exists and is punishable by a term ofimprisonment, a monetary fine, or "both." The claim by Representative Sticklandis that the wording change from "imprisonment, fine or both" to "imprisonment,fine or both fine and imprisonment" is something beyond nonsubstantial, clearerdrafting. Adding clearer, nonmandatory language in a statute that makes it easierto read to Texans, is not a point of order but a desired state of legislative drafting.Because SBi1343 neither creates a new offense nor increase the punishment foran existing offense, the bill analysis complies with the House Rules. The point oforder is respectfully overruled.

Amendment No. 1

Representative Parker offered the following amendment to SBi1343:

Amend SBi1343 (house committee report) as follows:(1)iiAdd the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill:SECTIONi____.iiSection 503.001, Business & Commerce Code, is

amended by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:(e)iiThis section does not apply to voiceprint data retained by a financial

institution or an affiliate of a financial institution, as those terms are defined by15iU.S.C. Section 6809.

(2)iiStrike page 3, line 27, through page 4, line 6, and substitute thefollowing appropriately numbered SECTION:


SECTIONi____.ii(a) Except as provided by Subsection (b) of this section,the changes in law made by this Act apply only to an offense committed on orafter the effective date of this Act. An offense committed before the effective dateof this Act is governed by the law in effect on the date the offense wascommitted, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. Forpurposes of this subsection, an offense was committed before the effective date ofthis Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date.

(b)iiThe change in law made by this Act to Section 503.001, Business&iCommerce Code, applies only to a violation that occurs on or after theeffective date of this Act. A violation that occurs before the effective date of thisAct is governed by the law in effect on the date the violation occurred, and theformer law is continued in effect for that purpose.

(3)iiRenumber the SECTIONS of the bill accordingly.

recognition of a foreign-country money judgment is or has been raised withoutregard to whether the suit was commenced before, on, or after the effective dateof this Act.

CSSB 944 - STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT

REPRESENTATIVE LEACH: Chairman Smithee, I appreciate your commentson the amendment and Representative Clardy in bringing this bill. I just want anunderstanding from you as the chairman of the committee that heard this bill.This bill came through your committee, correct?

REPRESENTATIVE SMITHEE: It did, yes.

LEACH: Okay. Can you tell me––you know this house passed HBi45 byRepresentative Flynn a couple of weeks ago. That ’s over in the senate now. It ’smy understanding there ’s going to be a hearing on that in the senate tomorrow.Can you tell me how this bill works with HBi45?

SMITHEE: Well, it ’s similar. HBi45, as I recall it, is limited primarily to familylaw matters. And this bill, as it was voted out of committee, basicallyincorporates the Uniform Foreign Money Judgments Act and applies it tonon-family law matters, which I think is great. The catch, though, is adding theprovision that ’s a little concerning, about trying to dictate the results of onespecific lawsuit that ’s pending right now.LEACH: Okay, thank you for that clarification. Chairman, is it your statementthat HBi45 as well as CSSBi944 work hand in hand and should both bepassed––essentially just cut to the chase?

SMITHEE: Well, yes. I think the bill, particularly as it came out of ourcommittee, is probably a good thing for Texas. This is a Uniform and Model Actthat has been approved by most of the states. Texas is really behind in doing this.It ’s good policy, and it should be done. There ’s a little bit of a concern, though,when you call something the Uniform Act and then we come in in Texas andmake changes to the Act, which this amendment is trying to do, because it ’s


really not the Uniform Act anymore. But the legislature can certainly do that if itchooses to. You just need to be aware that you ’re basically going to dictate thewinner and a loser in one particular lawsuit.

LEACH: Okay. Chairman Smithee, thank you for your work on these issues andRepresentative Clardy as well. Lastly, Chairman Smithee, is it my understandingthat you have some good news to share with the body?

SMITHEE: Well, we had a grandson last night.

LEACH: Well, congratulations, Chairman.
