I ask you to lift up those who are seated in places of authority over our state, the speaker of this house, those representing me in the senate, and those in the house, with your mighty hand. Please give them wisdom on the difficult issues they are discussing and deciding on my behalf. I ask you to give insight to my state governor and all those in our state legislature. Give them your guidance as they determine the policies that will govern in our state and our local communities. I ask that each representative submit themselves to you, God, the ultimate authority in each one of our lives. Help them to recognize you in all they do. We pray they would use government to help secure peaceful and quiet living in our communities while respecting the proper role of your institutions of family and the church. We are all subject to falling short. I pray you give us all an extra measure of humility so we can have the wisdom that only comes from you, Lord. Give them the tenacity and fortitude to do their God-given job to the best of their ability. Give them insight as they legislate for the good of our amazing state. Please protect and strengthen each one of their families, especially during times of separation. We speak blessing and favor on their lives and their respective families. We ask all this in your precious name. Amen.

CSHB 63 ON SECOND READING
(by Moody, Collier, White, Dutton, Phelan, et al.)
CSHB 63, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the civil and criminal penalties for possession of certain small amounts of marihuana and an exception to prosecution for possession of associated drug paraphernalia; creating a criminal offense.
HB 63 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE MOODY: I'm so proud to be here on the floor talking about a bill I've been working on for years now. When I first proposed changing our criminal penalty for personal use marihuana possession to a civil penalty, there was some support but even more caution and unfortunately a whole lot of chuckles about stoners and munchies. I get that. Like most people, I also didn't realize how serious the problems with our current system were until a constituent of mine, Mr. Colt DeMorris, reached out and gave me some perspective. After he helped educate me on the toll these laws were taking on ordinary Texans, I drove into the data and found out just how right he was. I've been trying to pass that along in the years since by telling all of you about the $734 million we spend in Texas every year on enforcement, about the 75,000 arrests every year that take police off the street, about the devastating collateral consequences that haunt young people for their whole lives. I've also listened to your input even when we've disagreed. I appreciate the feedback from members, advocates, and criminal justice professionals, and I've worked with everyone who has brought me concerns in good faith.
The result is a very strong, functional, bipartisan bill. That's reflected in the endorsement of both major parties. This reform is actually a plank of the Texas Republican Party platform. That's reflected in the joint author sheet made up entirely of chairs. Thank you, Mr. Dutton, Mr. White, Ms. Collier, and Mr. Phelan. That's reflected in the dozens of members who've signed on as coauthors, and there's still time for more of you. But as much as I appreciate all those signatures, there's still one signature I have to think about. And just as I've worked with everyone else, today I'm prepared to work in the lanes the governor has laid out to get this done. With that, I have an amendment.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE MOODY: Since this is a big change, let me give you the "what" before I give you the "why." The amendment you have in front of you now keeps a criminal penalty for personal use possession of marihuana instead of moving to a civil system. It just reduces the penalty and works to remove disproportionate collateral consequences as much as we're able to within the criminal justice system. This is an approach the governor has supported publicly. Like the original version of the bill, it deals with possession of one ounce or less, which is only half the amount punished by our current lowest penalty. The amendment makes that a Class C misdemeanor. I want to be clear that this amendment doesn't affect our laws on concentrates or other forms of THC which are covered in a different section of the code. Beyond that, because we changed the numbering of these penalties, a lot of what the amendment does is make conforming changes to areas of several codes to keep the existing law the same.
Here are the substantive changes in the amendment. First, it requires a citation instead of an arrest if a person's only offense is possession of an ounce or less or possession of drug paraphernalia. The amendment to the amendment clarified that this doesn't apply to someone making an arrest for something else. In other words, if you're getting arrested for something like a DWI and you have an ounce or less of marihuana, you can be charged with both. Second, it requires a court to defer adjudication of guilt and place the offender on probation for those offenses if they haven't gone through the process in the last 12 months. Third, those who successfully complete are eligible to have their records expunged. That's the law right now, but this amendment, specifically the amendment to the amendment that we brought on to the amendment, streamlines the procedures for that and allows expunction a little earlier than the general expunction statute which normally requires a wait of two years or more from the time of arrest. The procedures are largely modeled after expunctions in minor and possession cases, except unlike with MIP, this amendment doesn't allow an outright conviction to be expunged. Finally, the amendment removes the automatic six-month driver's license suspension that comes with any drug conviction. To make that work, we're also going to have to pass a separate resolution telling the federal government we oppose them holding our federal highway funds hostage if we change our law. That keeps our highway funds flowing and tells Washington that Texas is going to make its own laws. That resolution was filed by Mr. White and should be in front of you soon. I do want to be clear that this part of the amendment is contingent on that resolution so no funding is in danger. That's why the effective dates at the end of the amendment are a little bit complicated.
So that's the "what," and the "why" is simply this. Although this compromise isn't as far as I'd like to go, I'm not going to sacrifice the good for the perfect. If this is what we can do, then this is what we must do. We can't keep spending three-quarters of a billion dollars on this every year. We can't keep hauling 75,000 Texans to jail every year. We can't keep distracting police and prosecutors from crime we should genuinely be afraid of with a crime that at worst we're mad about. And all that disgraceful waste of resources aside, we've got to do something about the collateral consequences our system has created for people. We're tagging young people, and arrest data shows it's mostly young people, with criminal records. About half of those 75,000 annual arrests result in a conviction or non-expungeable probation, which is a barrier to education, financial aid, housing, military service, and employment. It can affect freedoms like completing the naturalization process or having a license to carry a firearm. And if someone overcomes all that, then six months without a driver's license is also a serious problem. Our current law means that a 20-year-old college kid caught with $5 worth of marihuana can end up being treated like a criminal at a job interview 30 years later, and that's if they even get the interview in the first place. And that's wrong. And all that's for nothing, because usage rates have been steady. What we're doing now has absolutely zero deterrent value. No business in the world would keep making a three-quarter-billion-dollar annual investment when it's never had a positive return in the past, but we keep doing it every session. It's time to stop throwing away taxpayer money and law enforcement resources and be smarter. CSHB 63 is that solution.
There are some people, and I'm encouraged that there aren't many, but there are some people who have drawn a line in the sand and refuse to take any step forward whatsoever on reform. They say it's a slippery slope to full-on legalization. The amendment in front of you isn't legalization. It's not even decriminalization. We can't legislate in fear of what some future legislature might do. We're here to solve the problems of today. I also want to remind everyone that this isn't about whether marihuana is good or bad. It's about whether what we're doing on enforcement right now is good policy. We all know it's not. CSHB 63 provides a smarter, fairer path forward for this state. This is a bipartisan issue that has overwhelming support from Texans across the political spectrum. I hope it has your support, too, because the time for reform is now.
