Let us then pray for the Lord's richest blessings on the members of the house, who are devoted to helping their brothers and sisters. Heavenly Father, we come here before you asking for your Holy Spirit to descend upon each member of the house and enkindle in their hearts the fire of your love. May they work tirelessly to build the kingdom of God and may they make of our state a better place where love, mercy, and justice reign. We ask that you may bless their families, friends, and all those they represent. May the love they feel for each one of them move them to always do the right thing. We ask that they may be inspired by the visions of the young and seek the advice of the old as they serve in this very honorable and humbling role. Guide each and every one of them, Lord, as they lead our State of Texas forward. We also pray for all the Catholic and French people. May they remain hopeful after their nation's loss. In the precious name of Jesus we pray. Amen.

Representative Lucio offered the following amendment to CSHB 1504:

Amend CSHB 1504 by adding a new section to read:

Amendment No. 8 was withdrawn.

REPRESENTATIVE ZEDLER: Members, I hope you'll consider what we're doing here. Basically we're deciding that the Texas Medical Board is going to have less oversight than any other medical board down there––in other words, the chiropractic board, the dental board, the optometry board. And I think it's important to realize that the Texas Medical Board in a district court ruling in Victoria, Texas––the judge said he found that the Texas Medical Board had acted in bad faith in an attempt to circumvent both the U.S. and the State Constitution. This agency has been sued more than any of the other agencies out there. We have just lost a $100 million company. Why? Because the company had found that they didn't want to have this huge investment in a doctor here in Texas and have that doctor's license be ruled on will o' the wisp. And so they've left.

As Representative Lucio pointed out, they were charged with the responsibility of disseminating the information on Lyme disease. Despite the fact that by the law––the law said this is what we want you to do––unfortunately, the president of the board said, well, I just didn't think it was up to us to have to do that. So what does it tell you about the attitude of the Texas Medical Board? The attitude of the Texas Medical Board is we don't care about the law; we're going to be a law unto ourselves. They have a history of violation of due process rights by individuals as well as the fact that their staff routinely violates their own policy so that they have a disparity of the way they treat physicians. We have physicians where no patient has complained, no patient was injured, and yet they're disciplining them. And yet we have a doctor––another spine surgeon up in north Dallas––that has 15 lawsuits against him, 20 complaints to the medical board, and yet they have not lifted a finger to sanction that doctor. Not only that but the Texas Medical Board has established a pattern of anti-trade and anti-competitive behavior in their rulemaking and regulatory actions.

In 2013, the board violated the Administrative Procedure Act by incorrectly interpreting statutes not by rule but by FAQ to deny other practitioners the ability to write hospital discharge prescriptions. In 2015, the board targeted telemedicine. The courts told them that their cease and desist letters were a violation of the Administrative Procedure Act. When they tried to make rules, the courts imposed an injunction on the grounds that the rules were likely anti-competitive behavior. And in 2017, the board proposed rules to define telemental health as a practice of medicine, interfering with the practice of non-physician mental health providers. The rules were tabled due to a public outcry. And in 2018, the board adopted an FAQ stating that CRNAs must be supervised, disregarding an attorney general's opinion that said otherwise. Then they began sending letters to hospitals enforcing the FAQ. And finally, in 2019, the board proposed rules that would prohibit non-physicians from reading and interpreting results of radiological procedures, including x-rays. And again, they had to postpone the adoption because of public outcry. So members, I hope when you vote you'll realize this.

Representative Zedler moved to print his closing remarks on CSHB 1504.

CSHB 1504, as amended, was passed to engrossment.

CSHB 902 was passed to engrossment.

CSHB 8, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the criminal statute of limitations for certain sexual offenses and the collection, analysis, and preservation of evidence of sexual assault and other sex offenses.

The chair recognized Representative Neave who addressed the house, speaking as follows:

Today, our great State of Texas has an opportunity to transform a system which will bring justice to our sisters, our mothers, our daughters, our granddaughters, our friends. The women, men, and children of our state who have experienced gut-wrenching trauma, one of the most personal, intimate ways of violation––rape. Today, during Sexual Assault Awareness Month, I ask you to join us in voting for the Lavinia Masters Act. Lavinia, a 13-year-old child, had to wait 20 years to have her rape kit tested. After being raped at knifepoint, 20 years for a shot at justice. Twenty years was so late that the statute of limitations had run. Today, we can send a message to the women of Texas that your voices are being heard, we believe you, and that the Texas House of Representatives is legislating justice. In Texas, we have thousands of rape kits sitting on shelves waiting to be tested. We have thousands of survivors waiting for justice.

In 2017, there were 18,112 reported instances of rape in our state. We have about 18,000 rapes on average every single year, and these are just the ones that we know about. As we know, many if not most sexual assaults go unreported. So when we have a rape survivor who is willing to come forward, go to a hospital, sit on a sometimes cold table and have the most intimate areas of her body searched, analyzed, observed, photographed––all of that shame and fear and confusion that sometimes come from a rape––all of that comes down to a four- to six-hour exam to collect evidence to put into a box about this big. That box is called a rape kit. That rape kit for Lavinia Masters was not tested for decades. That rape kit is more than just a number sitting on a shelf. That rape kit contains more than just evidence. That rape kit contains the hope that justice will prevail. That rape kit contained Lavinia's childhood, her innocence stolen from her at knifepoint. That rape kit, members, contains the key to the prevention of future offenses.

CSHB 8, the Lavinia Masters Act, is a collaboration of legislative solutions to tackle the rape kit backlog in Texas in several ways. It first requires an audit of all untested rape kits to determine the number, the status, and the location in Texas. That number, members, has not been updated since 2011. It lays out timelines for every stage in the process, from collection to testing to analysis, to prevent future backlogs and to ensure that sexual assault evidence kits are tested on a timely basis. It holds the statute of limitations for sexual assault and aggravated sexual assault until the rape kit is tested. And it also increases the time that DPS maintains rape kits in non-report cases from two years to five years. It requires DPS also to provide notice to victims 91 days before their rape kit is destroyed. The Lavinia Masters Act will take our state one step closer to becoming more perfect, more responsive, and more just. I want to thank the governor, Speaker Bonnen, our joint authors––Representatives Howard, Button, Minjarez, Lang––Chairman Zerwas, Vice-Chair Longoria, the entire Appropriations Committee, Lavinia Masters for the opportunity to allow us to uplift your story to help thousands of women for generations to come, our staff for their hard work, and the sexual violence task force members as well.

CSHB 2771, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the authority of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to issue permits for the discharge into water in this state of produced water, hydrostatic test water, and gas plant effluent resulting from certain oil and gas activities.

REPRESENTATIVE J. TURNER: I just want to ask you a few questions about the bill, which I voted for in committee and intend to vote for again today on the floor. I want to just go over a little bit about what the bill does and maybe clear up some questions or confusion that might be present. First of all, would your bill change any of the substantive laws or regulations, either state or federal, that govern the standards for discharging water resulting from oil and gas activities?

REPRESENTATIVE LOZANO: No. No, it wouldn't.

J. TURNER: I'm going to explain what I understand to be current EPA regulations relating to the discharge of produced water. My understanding is that EPA regulations prohibit the direct discharge of produced water from onshore wells east of the 98th meridian, which in Texas is right along the I-35 line, and that produced water can be discharged west of the 98th meridian if it has a use in agriculture or wildlife propagation and it is of sufficient quality to be used for those purposes. Now, assuming that my understanding is correct, I just want to understand, would your bill change any of that?

LOZANO: No, it would not.

J. TURNER: And Representative Lozano, if I thought that the bill would change our federal or state standards and allow discharge of produced water into places where it's not currently allowed, I might be concerned and ask more about that. But am I correct to say the bill does not do that?

LOZANO: You're correct. It doesn't.

J. TURNER: I want to ask a couple of questions about what the bill does do. First, I understand that it would transfer authority for permitting the discharge of oil and gas related wastewater from the Railroad Commission to the TCEQ. Is that right?

LOZANO: Yes, that's correct.

J. TURNER: And the TCEQ is the agency that currently handles our surface water discharge in areas other than those related to oil and gas wastewater, correct?

LOZANO: Yes, that's correct.

J. TURNER: Representative, can you think of any reason why, from the standpoint of protecting our water quality and protecting the public interest, the TCEQ would be a less desirable agency to handle this permitting than the Railroad Commission?

LOZANO: No, definitely not less desirable. If anything, it would be better. TCEQ has greater expertise in handling quality of water, of course, air, and land. That's what they're charged with, and they would be far better in terms of their expertise.

J. TURNER: Representative Lozano, I understand also that the bill would call upon the TCEQ to seek delegation authority from the EPA to administer the Clean Water Act and federal water permitting rules in the oil and gas industry just as they currently do in other industries. Correct?

LOZANO: That's correct.

J. TURNER: Now, whether to provide the TCEQ with that authority, am I correct that that would be a decision for the EPA to make ultimately, and it will only happen if the EPA decides the TCEQ is equipped and ready to do so?

LOZANO: That's correct.

J. TURNER: Thank you, Representative Lozano. I certainly care very much about ensuring the safety and the water quality of our Texas rivers and lakes, and after studying the bill, I viewed it as a reasonable adjustment to our agency functions which should not have any negative effect on water quality and the environment. I appreciate you answering my questions.

Representative Lozano offered the following amendment to CSHB 2771:

Amend CSHB 2771 (house committee printing) as follows:

(1)  On page 6, lines 12-14, strike "and all funds appropriated by the legislature for that power, duty, function, program, or activity".

on Amendment No. 5 to House Bill 2771

Announced in the House on April 16, 2019

Representative Cain raises a point of order against further consideration of the Ramos Amendment under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.

The subject of the bill is granting authority to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality to issue certain discharge permits for certain waters and effluent resulting from oil and gas activities. The subject of the amendment is the granting of rulemaking authority to adopt water quality standards for activities that are beyond the scope of the activities covered by the bill. The amendment is not germane.

Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 5.

REPRESENTATIVE LEACH: I'm proud tonight to be laying out to the house the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, CSHB 16. Members, in many ways, as the author of the bill, I'm at a loss for words. In all sincerity, it's hard to imagine. It's hard to believe that we're having this conversation in this country. We never thought we'd be forced to. We never thought we'd be here, but here we are discussing what the proper protocol is when a baby is born alive after an abortion attempt. Members, I'm filing this legislation after the collective conscience of our nation has been shocked in recent weeks. As we've seen in other states and in Washington, we've witnessed elected policymakers exhibit an extreme callous disregard for human life. Texans, however, and I believe republicans and democrats from all across the great State of Texas reject this callous disregard for human life. We cannot and we will not remain silent. And so with the filing of the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, with the support of nearly 80 of our colleagues, including my four joint authors and friends––Dr. Bonnen, Dr. Oliverson, Stephanie Klick, and Geanie Morrison––today we're drawing a line in the sand, proclaiming clearly and loudly together on behalf of the Texans we represent that a baby who survives an abortion deserves the full protection of the law and the highest standards of medical care.

In terms of specifics of what CSHB 16 does, it's important to note that in the late '70s, the Texas Legislature, in an overwhelmingly bipartisan fashion with majority democrat support, passed an incredibly important statute which clearly defines the rights of a child who survives an abortion. A similar bill was passed at the federal level and signed by President George W. Bush in 2002, and many other states have passed similar legislation. Specifically, that law is currently codified in Section 151.002 of the Family Code. And it states as follows in relevant part: "A living . . . child born alive after an abortion . . . is entitled to the same rights, powers, and privileges as are granted by the laws of this state to any other child born alive after the normal gestation period. . . . [The term] 'born alive' means the complete expulsion or extraction from its mother of a product of conception, irrespective of the duration of pregnancy, which, after such separation, breathes or shows any other evidence of life such as beating of the heart, pulsation of the umbilical cord, or definite movement of voluntary muscles." Those words are currently codified in statute in the Texas Family Code. This has been law for nearly 40 years. It's a good, strong law, but I don't believe that it goes far enough. So CSHB 16 seeks to clarify and provide teeth and enforcement mechanisms to ensure that a Texas baby who is born alive after an attempted abortion receives the highest standards of medical care from that physician. And with CSHB 16 we will be making very clear––Texans will be making very clear––that should that physician fail to meet those standards set out in the law, he or she will be met with the full weight and force of Texas law.

At the heart of the bill, the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act does this: It is designed to strengthen the protections afforded to those babies who survive abortions. And you might be asking yourself, do babies survive abortions? Does this happen? The answer is yes. In our committee hearing on this bill, we had three women who testified to the committee as survivors of abortions. So it does happen, and what this bill does is in the case where an infant is born in this state who survives an abortion, a physician-patient relationship is created immediately between that physician and the surviving infant at the time of birth. With that come obligations, responsibilities, and duties on behalf of that physician to treat that infant and to do whatever is medically necessary to attempt to save that baby's life.

Members, I don't want to belabor the point. We have an opportunity tonight with CSHB 16, with the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, to unite together as a body. And as much as the issue of abortion has historically divided this country, this state, and even this body at times, to me, there should be no debate on this issue. This is something that I believe that every member of this body can and should support. We have babies in this state now and in the future who need the legislature to speak on their behalf, to give voice to the voiceless. So I want to ask you, encourage you, and invite you tonight to join me in supporting CSHB 16, showing the rest of the country––states like Virginia and New York and Washington, D.C.––that we're going to continue to stand for life in this state, to create a culture of life. And in this instance where a baby is born alive, breathing, moving, crying, longing for and reaching out for help, there should be no question as to what that physician should do. Members, thank you for your time tonight. I'm very proud to stand here with my colleagues in supporting the Texas Born-Alive Infant Protection Act, CSHB 16.

REPRESENTATIVE HOWARD: It's important that the record reflect the truth about CSHB 16 and why many members refused to engage in debating this blatantly false, inflammatory, and dangerous bill. The aim of CSHB 16 is clear: further stigmatize abortion, misinform the public, intimidate physicians, and interfere with a woman's ability to seek medical care. And even worse, it adds another layer of trauma to families facing the tragedy of severe fetal abnormalities. CSHB 16 does absolutely nothing to improve health care. The medical community is overwhelmingly opposed to this bill, including the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists which stated, "The bill relies on nonscientific information. The idea that many women deliver a viable fetus after an abortion attempt is not accurate." And that's from physicians, not politicians.

There have been zero reported instances of any child born alive after an abortion in Texas. Current law already treats any child born prematurely or after an abortion the same. There is no ambiguity or confusion here. To debate this bill or to try to amend it would legitimize its false narrative. The misinformation perpetuated by this bill is dangerous and is the exact type of rhetoric that leads to threats of violence against providers. We refuse to waste the limited time that we have here to take care of the people's business by entertaining malicious and purely political attacks against women and doctors. We refuse to ignore the expertise of medical professionals and allow them to be targeted and harassed. We refuse to use the power entrusted in us by our constituents and the voters of Texas for political theater or to be party to turning lies into law.

As a nurse, I'm insulted. I am insulted by the implication that I or any other nurse or doctor––Stephanie Klick, Dr. Zerwas, Dr. Sheffield, Dr. Bonnen, Dr. Oliverson––would not do any and everything in our power to provide care to any medically stressed human being. As a mother and a grandmother, I am heartbroken for those families who will suffer as a result of this punitive bill. And as a legislator, let me just say that not a single one of us in this room––not one––supports infanticide. Not one of us. I am casting my vote as "present, not voting" and asking others to join me in protest of this harmful charade. So go ahead and check off the box on your scorecard at the expense of Texas women and families. And then let's get back to taking care of the real business we were sent here to work on.

(S. Davis in the chair)

LEACH: I'm in my fourth term here in the house, and I don't know if I've ever been accused of intentionally misinforming, seeking to intimidate, to add a layer of trauma, to incite threats of violence. I don't think I've ever been accused of filing malicious and purely political legislation, but I've been accused of that, and so I want to respond. This legislation is about protecting innocent life, a baby who is born alive. I don't want to go point by point and refute such ridiculous allegations. And so members, what I want to do right now is I want to introduce you to someone who's in the gallery with us today, Ms. Claire Culwell, who is a survivor of abortion. Ms. Culwell is here in the gallery. And so if you vote against this bill or if you vote "present, not voting," I respect your right to disagree, and I would never accuse you by way of your vote of being malicious or wanting to incite violence or to engage in a charade. I would never accuse you of that. Your vote is your vote, and your bills are your bills.

But make no mistake, this body has an opportunity tonight to unite and to say that in this situation, in this instance where an attempted abortion has failed and a baby is alive outside of the womb, we're advising and telling and putting a stake in the ground as to what that physician should do. I don't think that's a charade. I think that's why we're here. And so Claire Culwell and others who testified before our committee that day sharing their stories, those ladies sharing their stories of surviving an abortion and advocating across the country today for laws just like this, they deserve your "yes" vote today. They deserve your "yes" vote. I'm encouraging you––I'm inviting you––to join me in voting yes and giving a voice to the voiceless. That's a good vote. It's a great vote, and it's a great bill. I am so proud to join with my colleagues to pass this legislation, and I'm hopeful that the 49 other states will join us very quickly.
