Eternal God, we bow our heads and hearts before you today to recognize you as the maker of heaven and earth. You alone deserve our worship and unwavering allegiance. You alone are the most high God and our creator. We trace every good gift and every blessing back to your hand. We thank you for your kindness to us all. Grant to each representative the courage and insight to preserve what is good, even as I also ask that you infuse them with much wisdom, nuanced wisdom, as they lead our state into the future. Give to these representatives and their staffs the physical strength and emotional tenacity to endure long hours of labor with a positive sense of accomplishment, as well as with a keen awareness that they are serving you even as they serve the people of Texas. Carefully watch over them, and with your great power protect them and their families with your abiding presence. And in all things, O God, we enthusiastically invite your will to be done on earth even as it is in heaven. With respect and good will for all, I pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.

REPRESENTATIVE T. KING: First of all, I want to thank you for all the hard work you've done on this bill during the interim and during the session. You've done a great job, and the people of Texas really owe you a debt of gratitude. I would like to ask you a couple of questions for legislative intent on CSHB 13, if you don't mind?

REPRESENTATIVE PHELAN: Yes, sir.

T. KING: Sections 2 and 3 of your bill provide definitions for the terms "flood control planning" and "flood project," and the definition of flood project itself includes planning and design activities. As you know, much of the work and expense that goes into flood planning and flood projects is in all of the research, data collection, mapping, and modeling that must be done on the front end. Am I correct in stating that it is your intent that the definition of flood control planning is intended to include those research, data collection, modeling, and mapping activities related to floodwater and storm water management?

PHELAN: Yes, sir, Mr. Chairman. That's my intent.

T. KING: So that is your intent?

PHELAN: Yes, sir.

T. KING: And secondly, therefore, am I correct in stating that it is your intent that those same activities would be included under the definition of flood control project since it includes planning and design activities?

HB 1964, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the procedure for action on certain applications for an amendment to a water right.

REPRESENTATIVE ZWIENER: I want to ask a couple of questions to determine legislative intent. Can you offer us some examples of these minor amendments that you hope this bill will cover?

REPRESENTATIVE ASHBY: I sure can. I know that the Sierra Club has some concerns with it, and so I appreciate the opportunity to cite an example or two or three. One example would be for a city in times of drought. If a city would like to share water down the river basin with another city that is experiencing drought conditions, that would qualify as being exempt under this bill before you today. Another example would be––and this happens a lot maybe in your part of the state––where a city is growing and they go out and acquire a water right permit from a farmer or rancher that currently is designated as agricultural use for that permit. Under this bill, that city would be allowed to add municipal use under the permit that they would be acquiring from that farmer or rancher. So that would be another example of an exemption. And then lastly, for our rural guys in the body, if there is a rancher that has a large tract of land along a river basin and they want to change the diversion point where they extract water, say, to feed their cattle, under this bill they would be allowed to move that on that same piece of property. But they could not change the amount that they currently have a permit for in terms of being diverted. So it would have to be on that same contiguous piece of land, and it would not change the quantity that could be diverted.

CSHB 2153 was passed to engrossment.

HB 793, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to certain government contracts with companies that boycott Israel.

REPRESENTATIVE P. KING: Last session, the house unanimously passed––and with only a handful of no votes in the senate was actually the first bill signed by the governor last year––a bill that prohibited boycott, divestment, and sanctions against our good friend the nation of Israel. It had some unintended consequences. Similar bills have passed in 27 other states or 26 other states. So groups like the Jewish Federations of North America, the AJC, StandWithUs, and Israeli-American Council got together and looked at this, and they came to the states that had passed the bills asking for some changes to do away with those unintended consequences. In effect, what had happened is it began to apply to small businesses and individuals, which was never the target of the legislation. It was trying to stop big businesses that could really have a negative impact on the Israeli economy and in effect on the Texas economy because of all the work we do with them. So the bill does three things. It removes sole proprietorship from the list of companies. In other words, it prevents the bill, the current statute––it takes sole proprietors out of it so that it will not prohibit sole proprietors from, frankly, participating in BDS. It will only apply to contracts for over $100,000. It was never intended that someone who is being called in to speak at a university would have to sign a contract saying that they won't boycott Israel. And it will only apply to companies that are 10 employees or larger. So it removes the current statute from applying to sole proprietorship; it removes the current statute from applying to contracts for less than $100,000; and it removes the statute from applying to companies that have 10 employees or less. And again, this was agreed language that was brought to us by a number of Jewish Federations-type groups from around the country. They're trying to have this put into all the BDS legislation around the nation, and some other states have already implemented it. I'll be happy to answer any questions.

REPRESENTATIVE WU: Representative King, I appreciate your effort to hone in this bill a little bit. May I ask you a few questions on your legislative intent?

P. KING: Absolutely.

WU: Under the revision, if passed by your legislation, would individuals who work within companies that are now subject under your legislation, would they individually be subject to this rule?

P. KING: No. They would be exempt. They are now and they would continue to be exempt from this statute.

WU: Even, to be very specific, employees who are working for companies who are subject to this rule would not be individually required?

P. KING: Pretend it was a school district and a school district employee. If that school district employee wanted to boycott Israel, they do have and would have the complete right to do that.

WU: And under the same sort of logic, was it your intent that individual contractors who contract with a company or an entity that is subject to this rule would also not be subject to this?

P. KING: Could you say that one more time?

WU: My apologies. Would this apply to independent contractors? Individuals who contract with a company or an entity that is subject to this rule––this rule would not apply to them?

P. KING: That is correct. If they are sole proprietors, or in fact, if they have 10 employees or less, or if the contract is for $100,000 or less, they would not be subject to the anti-BDS statute.

WU: And lastly, for companies that are affected by this rule, under your change, would individuals who are board members of those companies be subject to this rule?

P. KING: No, they would not. They would not be impacted by the statute at an individual level.

WU: Even if their company is?

P. KING: Pretend that it was ABC Manufacturing, and ABC Manufacturing had a stated policy of not doing business with Israel or boycotting Israel in some manner. If ABC company, if the chairman of their board wanted to be an outspoken critic of Israel, if they wanted to boycott Israel in all their personal financial dealings, if they wanted to completely boycott Israel, they would be free to do that and are today under the statute.

REPRESENTATIVE C. TURNER: I appreciate the dialogue you just had with Representative Wu. When we passed this a couple of years ago, I certainly had some discomfort at the time, and frankly, my discomfort has grown since then. But if I understand your bill right, you are narrowing the scope of the original bill passed last session.

P. KING: We are. We're narrowing the impact of the bill.

C. TURNER: And so these cases that we have seen in the last couple of years, the individual who was a speech therapist in the Pflugerville school district whose contract was not renewed because she wouldn't sign that language, that would no longer be an issue if we passed this bill?

P. KING: Representative Turner, to be honest, we never envisioned it affecting someone in that position, and it was never the intent of the bill. And so one of the things we're very distinctly trying to do with this is to remove people in her capacity from ever being impacted by it. It was never intended to impact an individual employee. It was never intended, really, to impact small business. And that's what we're trying to clarify with this legislation.

C. TURNER: And so essentially from here on out, I know this has been an issue both in public school districts and higher education as well––like it could be in this case a speech therapist or a substitute teacher or a guest lecturer, perhaps, where there's a contract.

P. KING: Which that was––actually, we did have a guest lecturer situation. They were going to be paid $1,000 to come speak at a university. They were asked to sign, and the contract that they signed, it had the anti-BDS provision. It was never intended to apply to individuals like that.

C. TURNER: So if this becomes law, this bill here today, then from this point forward, no school district, no university, no university system in the State of Texas should be putting this language in a contract for individuals or anything that is less than a company with 10 employees and/or a $100,000 contract.

P. KING: That is absolutely correct. You know, it's like a lot of major legislation that we pass. It ends up with some unintended consequences, so we try to come back a couple of years later with clarifying language. And in this case, it is narrowing the scope but still being a very effective and strong anti-BDS bill.

C. TURNER: I think it is a good step to narrow the scope so individuals aren't caught up in this, and maybe we can continue to address some of the other concerns moving forward.

P. KING: And I appreciate your courtesy, as well as others who've come up and talked to me about this over the last two years. We started working on this when the first problem came up.

C. TURNER: Absolutely. I know we were visiting about it last summer and fall, and I appreciate that and your receptiveness.

REPRESENTATIVE HOWARD: I'm trying to understand the purpose of this legislation. So I'd like for you to explain to me, if you would please, why we're choosing to create this kind of an economic statement, if you will, and barrier with one particular country as opposed to with all the others that are in the world that we're friends with, too. And with Mexico being our largest economic partner, there are things absolutely that occur in that country as well, social unrest or political stands that are taken. And so why are we choosing this over anything else that might be happening in the world?

P. KING: Certainly. It is similar to what we've done with Sudan and South Africa and other nations. But if I may just confine our discussion to this bill that's before us today, two years ago the legislature put this policy in place that we didn't want taxpayer dollars being spent to promote a boycott against Israel. So that is current statute today. The intent of this legislation and the purpose of that is to narrow the bill where it had some unintended consequences. And those unintended consequences were, instead of it affecting large businesses that were negatively impacting economically Israel and collaterally Texas, that we only intended for it to impact those large, large businesses, large investments, things of that nature.

HOWARD: Do you have examples of any of those that have occurred?

P. KING: I guess the most recent one was Airbnb, and let me put out a plug for Airbnb. Airbnb, which is a large international corporation doing business in virtually every country in the world, had come out with a public policy a couple of months ago that said that they would not do business, not list any housing, that was in Judea or Samaria.

HOWARD: Do you know why they made that decision?

P. KING: I know what their stated purpose was, but they didn't––

HOWARD: What was their stated purpose?

P. KING: Let me finish. Their stated purpose was due to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in the West Bank. That's Judea––historic Judea––and Samaria. But they hadn't taken a similar stand in Sudan or in Iran or in other nations that were clearly doing other things. So we actually reached out to them by letter and said, would you please reconsider this? And they did not. Texas then put them on the list. And to their credit, just yesterday, Airbnb announced that they were withdrawing that policy. And I want to compliment them for that, and I look forward to them being off the list. So that was the purpose of the legislation, a very good example of it, and where it had a very, very good outcome.

HOWARD: So our purpose is to have companies that have taken a stance for whatever reason to not do business in a particular––

P. KING: No, no, no. Any company can boycott Israel, and we will support their free speech right to do that. What we said is you can't use tax dollars to do that.

HOWARD: Right. I hadn't finished my statement that we were going to prevent any company that took the stance, for whatever reason, that they didn't want to do business in a particular country––in this case, Israel––that to get a state contract, to get state dollars, that our intention is to have them change their––make a political statement, if you will, in order to get our business. And I want to ask you, this is––

P. KING: I would just differ with you a little bit. I think you said it a little bit differently.

HOWARD: The fact is that their stated purpose was they didn't want to have housing in an area of conflict, I believe. Was it not?

P. KING: I would just encourage you––you can google online and read the letter that they put out that explains it. I don't want to speak for them. It was a very detailed letter. But what our purpose was in passing the legislation two years ago, the intent of the State of Texas was to say you can boycott any business, any country, anybody you want, but we're not going to allow you to use tax dollars to do that, and that's simply what the legislation did.

HOWARD: How do we draw the line on which countries we do that with, though, I'm asking. It's part of my question. And do you know how much this is costing us?

P. KING: Well, this bill only deals with Israel. If there's other instances of other nations, you might want to bring those up in independent legislation. I would encourage you to do that.

HOWARD: Well, I'm not even sure how much business we do with Israel.

P. KING: And we have done that with Sudan, and we have done that with other nations as a state before.

HOWARD: We've done it with South Africa. I know that.

P. KING: And with Sudan, I believe.

HOWARD: And Sudan, but are there any others you're aware of? Those are the only ones I'm aware of.

P. KING: I'm wanting to say there's a couple of others, but I'd have to check. I'm sorry.

HOWARD: And so how much is this costing the state to do this?

P. KING: Zero.

HOWARD: Oh, I believe there was something reported about $63,000 that's being spent to review businesses?

P. KING: I'm not aware of that.

HOWARD: To determine––how would we know if a business is doing this?

P. KING: Oh, I'm sorry. The comptroller contracts with––for the Sudan, for South Africa, I do think there's another country in that, and for the anti-BDS statute––the comptroller has a contract with a company, with two companies, I believe, to provide that list.

HOWARD: Two companies, yes.

P. KING: They were already doing that for the other countries. The BDS legislation was added to that.

HOWARD: So there was no additional expense?

P. KING: I can't say that. It may have been an additional expense when they added in Israel as well.

HOWARD: Do you think that this is going to impact in any way companies not doing business with our state, regardless of whether or not they agree or don't agree with this stance?

P. KING: Looking at our economy over the last two years, there's nothing to suggest that.

HOWARD: Thank you.

P. KING: Thank you very much. Members, if there's no other questions, I would just ask for your passage of this. I think it clears up some unintended consequences of what is otherwise some very, very effective––some of the most effective in the nation––anti-BDS legislation from two years ago.

REPRESENTATIVE ROSENTHAL: Members, my name is Jon Rosenthal. I was bar mitzvahed. [Speaking Hebrew] That means "my father's family are children of Israel." I love Israel. I support the state. My family came from there. I lived in Israel for an entire year. I spoke the language. I hope that nothing I say or do could ever be construed as against the state of Israel. As someone also born here in the United States, who enjoys the freedom that we have in the State of Texas in the country of the United States of America, we are protected by the Constitution. Just like sometimes I may disagree with things that our government does, I may protest their actions and policies. Same, as someone who loves another country also, I may also state that I disagree with their actions or policies. I may protest them. This is my right granted by the First Amendment to the Constitution of the United States. I ask all members to please consider that when looking at this bill.

WU: Members, it pains me to have to speak on this bill. I do not do this lightly. I know that our body and the State of Texas consider the state of Israel a close friend and a close ally. But even with the changes in this legislation, the originating legislation, the originating statute, is still unconstitutional. And this is why. The original bill required an oath. Under consideration of the rules issued by the Supreme Court, forcing someone to take an oath is the same thing as telling someone they cannot speak. Either forced speech or the silence of speech is considered the same violation. And a person or company that follows this and obeys this will essentially swear away their right to apply the First Amendment in their own lives and their own actions. And I know Representative King has made a valiant effort to narrow this to just companies and to large companies at that. However, given the United States Supreme Court ruling in the Hobby Lobby decision and in the Citizens United decision, the United States Constitution does not make a distinction between individuals and large corporations. They both have a right to speak, and they have the same protections of speech. This bill, while it narrows the scope of the original legislation, still applies the same rules but just to a smaller group of protected individuals.

I think this body has an unfortunate history of supporting rights that our supporters like and opposing rights that our supporters don't like. But I think all of us here, we should support all persons who wish to utilize the First Amendment. We should support all persons who wish to fall under the protections of the First Amendment to have freedom of religion. I think we should support all persons who seek the protections of the Second Amendment. We should support anyone who is using our Bill of Rights and our Constitution to protect themselves and to do what America intended for them to do, whether we agree with it or not. Most importantly, there is a right way and a wrong way to do this, and I am asking this body, I am asking those of us who agree with me, to PNV, to press a white light on this bill. Not because we don't support Israel, but because we support the Constitution of the United States. This body could have easily passed legislation that said we support Israel and we will do so by giving preference to companies from Israel in contracting. We could have easily said we will give preference to companies who buy parts from Israel. But we did not do that. Instead, we told other people, "do not speak." And that is unconstitutional.

P. KING: Just to respond to a little bit of some of the comments, which were very well intended and very much appreciated, there's been, that I'm aware of, seven challenges in federal court to anti-BDS legislation on constitutional grounds, the most recent being in an Arkansas federal court, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas. In all seven of those cases it has been found that the BDS legislation was not a violation of First Amendment rights. The BDS legislation has been upheld in all seven of those federal cases that I'm aware of and has not failed in any case at all. This amendment to the Texas statute has been considered as an act of good faith by the legislature. It will spare the state from wasting taxpayer dollars on monies on litigation by instead moving the law decisively away from an area where there have been concerns. The effort that we're trying to do in here––there are a couple of lawsuits ongoing; this will completely resolve those lawsuits. They are unnecessary lawsuits. Any problems perceived or real that they created were never intended by this legislature. And that's why we're simply coming in and saying that the statute which was passed unanimously two years ago, that the statute which has been passed in similar form by 26 other states, that it was not intended to impact small businesses. So if we pass this today, it will narrow the scope of our existing law––narrow the scope––to say the statute doesn't apply to sole proprietors; it doesn't apply to companies with 10 or less employees; and it doesn't apply to transactions of less than $100,000. Again, if someone has a constitutional claim against the statute, they can raise it, but in seven federal courts, legislation almost identical to our state statute that's in effect today has been upheld as not violating free speech.

REPRESENTATIVE HERRERO: Representative King, thank you for explaining further the position of this bill. Am I correct in understanding that this is existing law, correct?

P. KING: This is an existing statute.

HERRERO: And your bill, HB 793, is tailoring it more specific to whom it would apply or whom it wouldn't apply. Is that correct?

P. KING: It's intended to target large businesses that were using tax dollars from the State of Texas to boycott Israel.

HERRERO: Right, but it's essentially narrowing existing law?

P. KING: It's narrowing it down so that it doesn't have unintended impact on individuals and small business.

HERRERO: Right, so even if I were against the provision of the existing law, and I were to vote against HB 793, the law would still exist. Is that correct?

P. KING: And the unintended consequences of that statute would still exist.

HERRERO: Correct. And so the issue here would be whether or not someone were to file an amendment to repeal the provision, which I believe would be subject to a point of order because it goes against the intent of the bill. But the point I'm trying to make here, so that people understand, essentially it's existing law, and this bill is trying to help correct the unintended consequences from that existing law that was passed last time.

P. KING: That question is right on point, and you said it better than I have said it. It is simply this: The anti-BDS statute is on the books in the State of Texas today. It has been for two years. It had some very unintended consequences, and so we're narrowing the scope to remove those unintended consequences so that the bill will have what its original intent was, which was to prevent tax dollars in the State of Texas being used at enterprise level events, at enterprise level exchanges, to boycott our friend and ally, Israel.

HERRERO: Right, so if someone has an issue with the existing law then it would be better––would you agree with me that it would be better to file legislation to that effect and then have it go through the process?

P. KING: That would have been the correct way to do that, yes.
