God of grace and God of mercy, we thank you for the blessings of a new day. We come today, dear God, depending upon your divine wisdom. We ask that you will allow your Holy Spirit to guide the debate and the deliberations of this august body. God, remind each of these men and women that our fellow Texans are depending upon them. We are depending upon them to grasp hold with humility the mantle of servanthood. We are depending upon them to be advocates for the voiceless. We are depending upon them to be the symbols of legislative righteousness and equality. Use their mind's eye to see the kaleidoscope of faces that compose the diverse tapestry of Texas. Help each of them, every one of them, to be good stewards of the hard-earned dollars that are sent to this Capitol. And when this legislative day is done, may the people of this hallowed house depart with good conscience, moral integrity, and spiritual fortitude. May they always be mindful of your words to the leaders of old: "I have shown you what is right and what is good, and I have shown you what I require from you, that is, to do what is just, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God." (Micah 6:8) Now may the creator of heaven and earth, the one whom you call Lord, Savior, and God, be with you all, henceforth now and forevermore. Amen.

The amendment provides for an appropriation contingent on the passage of HB 1200, or similar legislation, in this session. If the specified legislation does not become law, the appropriation is without effect. See 1908-1910 Biennial Rpt. Atty. Gen. at 369, 370. Because the amendment is specifically dependent on the enactment of general law, it does not change any law. The amendment does not violate the rule.
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.
Amendment No. 38 was adopted. (In accordance with a previous motion, the amendment was placed in Article XI.) (Allison, Anderson, Ashby, C. Bell, K. Bell, Biedermann, Bohac, G. Bonnen, Buckley, Burns, Burrows, Button, Cain, Craddick, Cyrier, Darby, S. Davis, Dean, Dutton, Flynn, Frullo, Geren, Harless, Harris, Hefner, Holland, Hunter, Kacal, K. King, P.

RULING BY THE SPEAKER
Amendment No. 45 to House Bill 1
Announced in the House on March 27, 2019
(Goldman in the chair)
Representative Cain raises a point of order against further consideration of the Calanni Amendment under Rule 8, Section 4, of the House Rules on the grounds that the amendment changes general law in an appropriations bill.
Subsection (c) of the amendment requires the Legislative Budget Board to use the results of the required study in determining funding levels for the general appropriations bill required to be introduced at the beginning of each regular session. The board director has discretion in preparing the budget under Section 322.008, Government Code. This amendment attempts to make mandatory what is currently discretionary and changes general law in violation of the rule. Atty. Gen. Op. No. JM-167 (1984).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 45.

Amendment No. 83 - Point of Order
Representative Capriglione raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 83 under the calendar rule governing consideration of HB 1. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:
RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 83 to House Bill 1
Announced in the House on March 27, 2019
(Goldman in the chair)
Representative Capriglione raises a point of order against further consideration of the Reynolds Amendment under the calendar rule governing consideration of HB 1 on the grounds that the amendment does not comply with the rule.
Under the rule's put-and-take requirement, all increases in spending must be equally offset by decreases in spending. Here, the amendment attempts to take $100.5 million in general revenue from the Office of the Governor to fund its increase in state contributions to health care premiums for certain state employees under a formula specified in the amendment.
The Chair is informed by the Legislative Budget Board that applying the amendment's formula would require an expenditure of roughly $554 million. The amendment puts more than it takes and violates the rule.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 83.

It is the intent of the legislature that for any state fiscal biennium, the State Board of Education issue proclamations for instructional materials in which the total projected cost of instructional materials under the proclamations does not exceed 75 percent of the total technology and instructional materials allotment under Section 31.0211, Education Code, for the most recent biennium for which the allotment has been determined.
It is the intent of the legislature that the State Board of Education consider the cost of all instructional materials and technology requirements when determining the disbursement of money to the Available School Fund and the amount of that disbursement that will be used, in accordance with Section 43.001(d), Education Code, to fund the technology and instructional materials allotment under Section 31.0211, Education Code.
From funds appropriated from the Technology and Instructional Materials Fund, the commissioner may set aside an amount not to exceed $2,500,000 for the 2020-21 biennium for the continued support and delivery of online college readiness materials in English language arts and reading, mathematics, science, and social studies.

The commissioner shall provide juvenile justice alternative education programs with instructional materials necessary to support classroom instruction in those programs. The cost of the instructional materials shall be funded with Technology and Instructional Materials funds appropriated to the agency for the 2020-21 biennium.
Revenue from fees collected under the authority of Texas Education Code Section 31.0221 pertaining to the mid-cycle review and adoption of textbooks are hereby appropriated to the Texas Education Agency for the purpose of administering the mid-cycle review and adoption process.
The Texas Education Agency is hereby appropriated any balances held in the Technology and Instructional Materials Fund on August 31, 2019, for use in fiscal year 2020 for the same purposes.

[The commissioner shall award grants to schools with high percentages of students who do not perform satisfactorily on relevant state assessments, and that serve the most struggling neighborhoods, as determined by the commissioner, to implement a comprehensive support program that increases the number of students performing on grade level by leveraging academic, community, and governmental supports. The commissioner shall prioritize issuing awards based on applications that demonstrate a commitment to improved outcomes on clear performance measures.] The commissioner shall award grants to schools with high percentages of students who do not perform satisfactorily as determined by local school districts, and that serve the most struggling neighborhoods, as determined by the percentage of students determined to be economically disadvantaged, to implement a comprehensive support program that increases the number of students performing on grade level by leveraging academic, community, and governmental supports. The commissioner shall prioritize issuing awards based on applications that demonstrate a commitment to improved outcomes on clear performance measures, but shall not base this determination solely on standardized test scores.
The commissioner may require any entity with which the Texas Education Agency contracts for purposes of administering the programs under this rider to provide any expenditure and performance data deemed necessary to assess the success of the program.
Any unexpended balances as of August 31, 2020, are hereby appropriated to fiscal year 2021 for the same purpose.

Additional Foundation School Program Funds for HB 3, or Other Legislation Increasing the State Share, Enhancing School District Entitlement, Reducing Recapture, and Providing Tax Relief. It is the intent of the Eighty-Sixth Legislature to adopt comprehensive school finance legislation and provide local property tax relief. In addition to amounts appropriated above in Strategy A.1.1, FSP-Equalized Operations, and Strategy A.1.2, FSP-Equalized Facilities, $4.5 billion in fiscal year 2020 and $4.5 billion in fiscal year 2021 is appropriated out of the Foundation School Fund No. 193 to be used for the purposes specified in this rider.
The amounts appropriated in this rider are contingent on enactment of legislation supporting school districts and charter schools by increasing the state share of the Foundation School Program, enhancing district entitlement, reducing recapture, and providing local property tax relief, while maintaining an equitable system of school finance. Legislative priorities addressed in HB 3 include teacher compensation, increasing the Basic Allotment and providing additional funding for early childhood education, and students needing special education or other specialized services.
[A portion of the amounts] A minimum of $2.8 billion of the amounts appropriated in this rider shall be used to provide local property tax relief. Funds shall be used to enable the compression of local maintenance and operations (M&O) property tax collections, pursuant to the provisions of the legislation, while ensuring school districts do not receive less total state and local funding through the FSP. Should other legislation be enacted dedicating state tax revenue to providing local property tax relief, those amounts are appropriated in addition to the amounts appropriated in this rider for the purpose of providing local property tax relief.
The $9.0 billion in Foundation School Fund No. 193 appropriated in this rider represents new state funding for school districts and charter schools above amounts estimated to fully fund current law.

Funds shall be used to enable the compression of local maintenance and operations (M&O) property tax collections, pursuant to the provisions of the legislation, while ensuring school districts do not receive less total state and local funding through the FSP. To the extent that other amounts are appropriated from the Foundation School Fund No. 193 or from another funding source by this or another act of the 86th Legislature to provide local property tax relief, those amounts are in addition to the amounts appropriated for that purpose by this rider.

Amendment No. 96 - Point of Order
Representative Capriglione raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 96 under Rule 11, Section 6, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:
RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 96 to House Bill 1
Announced in the House on March 27, 2019
Representative Capriglione raises a point of order against further consideration of the Raymond Amendment under Rule 11, Section 6, of the House Rules and House precedent on the grounds that the amendment is indefinite.
The amendment begins “[a]ppropriate funds in the above amounts to” a specified strategy. Nowhere in the amendment's text are those funds identified. The amendment, at a minimum, must identify the source of funds being appropriated so that Members and the Chair can understand its practical application. An amendment must be clear in both direction and meaning and this amendment does not comply with this requirement. 41 H. Jour. 4th C.S. 52 (1930).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 96.

Amendment No. 115 - Point of Order
Representative Calanni raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 115 under Rule 8, Section 4, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:
RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 115 to House Bill 1
Announced in the House on March 27, 2019
Representative Calanni raises a point of order against further consideration of the Cain Amendment under Rule 8, Section 4, of the House Rules on the grounds that the amendment changes general law in an appropriations bill.
The amendment would bar the department from using appropriated funds for performing elective surgery on inmates. Under Section 501.051, Government Code, The University of Texas Medical Branch provides medical care for inmates. UTMB is required by law to provide inmates with the “same level of care” that UTMB provides to non-inmate patients, which includes elective surgery. This amendment changes general law in violation of the rule. 78 H. Jour. 1647-1648 (2003).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 115.
