The following resolution was laid before the house:

HR 1264, Recognizing May 2, 2019, as Holocaust Remembrance Day.

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

I really wish that we didn't have to do this resolution today. It is a resolution recognizing International Holocaust Remembrance Day. I grew up in a little town of 1,900 people, Benavides, Texas. I'm very thankful that in that little town in our junior high we had a library. And in that library, I found a book when I was in the seventh grade, and I read about the Holocaust. As you might imagine, it made an impression on me. I couldn't believe what I was reading. I couldn't believe what had happened in this world with the Holocaust. It stuck with me, and through the years, I never lost interest. When I was old enough, I made my way to Poland, and I went to the Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. And so as I then got involved in politics, what has disturbed me and to this day disturbs me are the number of people in our state, in our society, and, in fact, in this country that deny the Holocaust. I've had people, when I'm talking or giving speeches or answering questions or just in discussion and somehow it'll come up––I've had people say to me, "well, if it really happened." And it disturbs me greatly. So I wanted us to do this resolution because I want the Texas House of Representatives to tell the world we know it happened, and we believe and hope that it doesn't happen again.

But I'm also disturbed when in January of this year I heard about an incident in San Antonio in the district of our former speaker Joe Straus, who is Jewish, where there were swastikas and references made to whether or not the Holocaust even occurred. In 2019––2019––and then it gets worse. Three days ago in Brownsville, Texas––down in South Texas where I'm from, in Brownsville where Alex is from––there's a woman running for the city council, a Jewish lady. Her political sign with her picture on it was defaced––they put a swastika on her forehead––three days ago in Brownsville, Texas. And so members, we have to, in all the things that we do in this great chamber, we have to do the things that we can to make sure future generations––current generations, I should say, and future generations––never let this happen again and not veer us toward that kind of incident again, that kind of atrocity, horror, whatever you want to call it, but move us away from that so that it doesn't ever happen again. I'm very thankful that we very quietly earlier this session passed HB 3966. It passed on the Local and Consent Calendar, but it establishes Holocaust Remembrance Week in Texas schools. It directs the governor to proclaim Holocaust Remembrance Week in Texas schools so that from now on there will be a week each year during the school year where schools talk to students about the Holocaust and what happened and hoping that in future generations they move away from that kind of hatred.

Today, members, I invited Lucy Katz, one of the youngest survivors of the Holocaust, to join us, and she is up on the dais. Lucy was born in Bedzin, Poland. She was separated from her parents at nine months old and rescued by a Polish Catholic family. She was smuggled out of the Bedzin Ghetto by her uncle David. He returned from that trip exhausted, and that next night was the start of the final liquidation of the ghetto. Her uncle David was shot in the leg by a Nazi soldier while trying to escape, and he was taken to Auschwitz where he was gassed and his body was cremated in the ovens. Her mother was killed at Birkenau in Auschwitz. Her father survived and was liberated in May of 1945. Her family was decimated––14 of her 15 aunts and uncles were killed, and 18 of her 19 great-uncles and great-aunts were killed. Her father found her after the war, when the family posted a note on a wall where survivors congregated, asking for the whereabouts of her birth family. She was smuggled out of Poland in 1947 and emigrated from western Germany in 1949. In 1966, she moved to Texas, where her sweetheart enlisted in the Air Force Officer Training School, and she hasn't left Texas since then. She's spent her life as an activist for civil rights and used her story to speak for those who have no voice.

I have to tell you, members, in the year 2000, I found my way to Auschwitz. When you go there––I'm guessing some of you have gone––there is an encased glass in one of the buildings that has suitcases of some of the people who were taken to Auschwitz. And what they would do is they'd say fill up a suitcase, put your name on it, put your date of birth, bring that with you, we're taking you somewhere––somewhere other than where they said they were taking them. As I looked at it, I can't remember the little boy's name, but there was a suitcase that had his name. It was a boy, and it said March 8, 1936, which is when the boy was born. And I looked at that because that was the day my father was born, March 8, 1936. I looked at that and I thought about my father born down in Laredo, Texas on that day and this little boy born in Poland and how different their lives ended because of this hatred and because of this horrible, horrible thing we call the Holocaust.

In Lucy's own words, if I may, she has said:

"Many survivors believe they have a duty to tell their story so that future generations never forget. Often the survivors tell us that they wanted to survive because if they hadn't lived to tell what happened to them, no one would know about the atrocities done by human beings to each other. There is also another side to the history of the Holocaust. It is that the power of the human will to persevere is incredible. We not only survived but we have thrived. In the worst of times, people reach out to each other beyond their differences and have the courage to perform incredible deeds of kindness despite the peril it might put them in. There is no room for hate, and love gives us courage to overcome the worst experiences. Each of us has the power to make a difference in someone's life and lift them up through deeds of kindness and goodness."

Lucy Katz, we thank you for joining us today and for doing all that you have for so many years to help so many people and to spread love and understanding and to never forget history. I want to also thank two other folks who are joining us from the Texas Holocaust and Genocide Commission––Matt Verdugo, executive director, and Jacque Lustig, executive assistant. And with that, members, thank you for joining me up here for this. And please members, do everything you can when somebody comes up to you and says, "if it really happened." You look at them and you tell them it did, and it should never ever happen again.

HR 1264 was adopted.

On motion of Representatives Rosenthal and Goldman, the names of all the members of the house were added to HR 1264 as signers thereof.

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

I'd like to say a couple of words, and I'll be brief. Today is Yom HaShoah, yesterday and today, both celebrated in remembrance of the Holocaust. And we remember this day, not just the day but the atrocities. We focus on remembering, understanding why it happened, and how it happened. The reasoning is that if we don't understand our history, we're doomed to repeat it. And so we say––if you visit Israel, there are signs all over the place saying Zakar. It means: remember. And what we say on this day––I'm going to give you a little lesson in Hebrew today––what we say on this day is never again. "Le'olam lo"––say that with me. Le'olam lo. Never again. That's the purpose.

HB 888, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to creating the criminal offense of misrepresenting a child as a family member at a port of entry.

REPRESENTATIVE LANDGRAF: This is the bill to help prevent human trafficking at ports of entry.

REPRESENTATIVE ROMERO: Mr. Landgraf, so in your bill, a Class B misdemeanor would be an arrestable offense?

LANDGRAF: That's correct.

ROMERO: So would it be possible for DPS to arrest an individual who has an intention of asking for asylum and in that process does not have documentation at that moment to prove that that child is their child? And would that be enough probable cause to arrest that individual?

LANDGRAF: That would be a law enforcement question that would depend on the evidence that's provided on a case-by-case basis.

ROMERO: I want you to help me understand the burden on law enforcement, because yesterday you stated that there was no fiscal impact to this bill, but I think for those on the border and all around, what your bill does is it allows for these people to be arrested, but it doesn't define who is going to pay the cost of that arrest. And I want you to help me understand that. I want you to walk me through a case as if you were a law enforcement officer because I'm assuming you've thought about all that. So help me understand from the point that that person is pulled over––whether that be DPS or local law enforcement that has the capacity to enforce your law––how that person would be arrested and what that looks like. Can you help me understand that?

LANDGRAF: Representative Romero, I appreciate the question. What you're really asking me to do with that question is discuss a law enforcement procedure that would involve a hypothetical case. Again, these are going to be determined on a case-by-case basis. This is designed to prevent human trafficking. With the amendment that was put on yesterday, it specifies that the intention for the actor in this case has to be that they are misrepresenting a minor child as their own for the purpose of smuggling that individual.

ROMERO: I completely understand that portion of the bill. There's no question about what your intent is.

LANDGRAF: Right, and just to continue responding to your question, with that in mind, that can come in different forms and different methods. So it's very difficult to engage in a hypothetical to talk about how that's going to appear in every situation.

ROMERO: I believe that the hypothetical that I'm giving you is pretty clear. The person is pulled over, they're saying that this person is their child, and they don't have documentation to prove anything because their case is with the federal government with CBP. So that person, because they can't prove that, now that officer does have probable cause based upon your bill, because they can't prove any which way or another. So I want you to tell me, is that person going to be taken to local jail or is that person going to be taken to CBP?

LANDGRAF: It could be either/or. It depends on who is making the arrest in that case.

ROMERO: So it's not CBP in this case, it's DPS. So DPS will then have to arrest that person. Are they going to take them, because they've now committed a crime based upon your bill––is that going to be now at the cost of the county? And how do you prove that? Whose responsibility is it to prove whether or not this person is or is not a child given that it's an international affair at this point? I'm having a hard time understanding how this person's going to end up in a county jail and how––who's paying for that?

LANDGRAF: To answer your question, just like many other violations of the Penal Code, there is a great degree of officer discretion. In this case there would be discretion about which agency––whether it's federal, state, or local––would be involved in this. And so depending on who is making that arrest, depending on what evidence is available, those are going to be determining factors in how that case is handled––if it's handled at all. There are so many variables here, it's very difficult to identify how that would be handled in any given situation.

ROMERO: But you do understand that your bill, when it goes through, if that officer right now is assisting CBP currently, is it your understanding that DPS would turn that person over to CBP today?

LANDGRAF: I envision that there would be a collaboration between state and local law enforcement with CBP, and in most cases the intake would probably, just based on the research that I've done, be handled by CBP. But without a law like this in place, it would be very difficult, if not impossible, for state and local law enforcement to aid in those efforts.

ROMERO: But that's my point. Right now CBP––if DPS has someone and they're asking for asylum, they're going to turn people over to federal officials because those are the only people that can. But with your bill, if that person has a child, now they have to determine whether that's legitimately their child or not, and that's not their job. And what it's going to do is you're taking them away from stopping drugs that are trying to come across the border or something that's more severe. Where they could simply turn those folks over to CBP and their job is done, now you're asking them to determine whether or not that's legitimately their child or not, and you're burdening local law enforcement and local jailers to hold those persons for an indefinite time until they can prove that.

LANDGRAF: I disagree with that assessment, and I have to take exception to the fact that you are implying that there is anything that's compulsory in this bill. There's nothing compulsory on state or local law enforcement. It simply provides an arrow in their quiver to help enforce these laws to help prevent the smuggling of children.

ROMERO: There is no question to your intent. I'm only asking about the process and how we can muddy up the process. If a person is charged, that person is either going to be proven guilty or not guilty. and that takes time. And in that time that it takes, that costs taxpayer money if they're held in a county jail, without question. Do you believe that? Is that a fact or not a fact?

LANDGRAF: Well, I mean, any time that law enforcement is engaged in law enforcement activity, there is a cost associated with that, no question. But that's going to be true with or without this bill.

ROMERO: But currently, they're not sending them to county jail. They're sending them to CBP. They're sending them to the federal agency because that's who's going to determine whether or not they can ask for asylum or not. And I'm not in defense of those that are pleading asylum, and I certainly understand that there's been lots done to make sure that people that are saying that this is their child should be their child, but it's never affected us on a local level. This isn't costing local taxpayer dollars when that person is in that county jail––it's not costing taxpayer dollars now––because DPS can simply hand them over to CBP. Again, and the whole evening I kept thinking, how does this actually play out? And does this, if you have a charge, a Class B misdemeanor now, how does this affect your ability to ask for asylum if you have some charge as a foreign national right now? Does that affect your asylum process?

LANDGRAF: It would affect the asylum process the way that any pending charge would. Again, that happens now––it can happen. This does not create the existence of that situation. It simply has a violation of the Penal Code that could be involved in that process, but it doesn't change the existence of that. Now, just like the fact that this is not compulsory on state or local law enforcement in any way, there's no requirement that any state or local law enforcement agency has to expend money to do this. It simply provides that option. It puts an arrow in the quiver for them to be able to aid in the anti-human trafficking process.

ROMERO: Representative Landgraf, I think that your intent is well-intended, but I just want to be real clear that I think that we are making the process that's already complicated, that's already backed up, that much more complicated and that much more backed up. I've been spending a lot of time in this interim on the border, going down there visiting with those migrant caravans that have been making their way here. They have an intent on coming, and the vast majority of them are coming with children, virtually all of them. They are running into the hands of CBP and DPS, and if they don't have the documentation to prove who they are, that does give that law enforcement officer enough probable cause to have to follow your law. And if that person ends up in county jail, I just want you to know, in my opinion, that anyone that votes for this is voting for an unfunded mandate for every one of those county jails.

LANDGRAF: I disagree because by that rationale the entire Penal Code is an unfunded mandate.

ROMERO: Well, that's true, but there is a difference between federal law and state law, and in this case, proving asylum is 100 percent federal. And with your bill, now you're asking them to jump in and to step in the way.

LANDGRAF: Representative Romero, I appreciate the point that you're making, but I have to take exception with the fact that this is not telling anybody to do anything.

ROMERO: I'm reading the bill. I spent all evening reading the bill. And I'm sure if this was in committee and we had DPS to ask that question, I believe that they would disagree with you.

LANDGRAF: There's nothing compulsory in the bill.

(Goldman in the chair)

REPRESENTATIVE ANCHIA: Representative, I think there's a little bit of confusion on the house floor about what the bill does and doesn't do. Can you speak to how the bill was impacted by the Rodriguez amendment yesterday?

LANDGRAF: Sure. So the Rodriguez amendment specifies what intent is required for there to be a violation of this proposed provision of the Penal Code. It specifies that misrepresentation must take place with the intent or for the purpose of smuggling a child that is not your own at a port of entry.

ANCHIA: So just to emphasize that point again, after Representative Rodriguez amended the bill, in order to create a violation under your bill, you have to have the requisite mental state, the mens rea, to traffic a child into the United States. Is that not correct?

LANDGRAF: That's correct.

ANCHIA: So I just want people to understand that the amendment referenced the code section related to human trafficking in existing code, and a person must––in order to be subject to you bill––must have had the intent to traffic someone in the United States, whether domestically or internationally. Is that right?

LANDGRAF: That's correct.

REPRESENTATIVE CANALES: So if somebody commits this offense that you're creating, what happens to the child?

LANDGRAF: The child is taken care of under the way that they would be under federal law.

CANALES: No, no, no, Representative. This is for state law enforcement. So what does the state law enforcement do with the child? Not federal law enforcement––we're talking about the state. What does the state law enforcement do with the child?

LANDGRAF: And again, I want to be clear that this creates an offense in the Penal Code that corresponds––

CANALES: An offense that law enforcement has to enforce. You're creating an offense, and I'm with you. I just need you to answer that question. When the state, with the offense you've created––say a trooper or a sheriff enforces this law, what happens to the kid?

LANDGRAF: Under this bill, the obligation of state or local law enforcement to make accommodations for a child who is not being arrested for a crime but whose––I mean, in this case, the person who is being arrested is engaged in human trafficking.

CANALES: Sure, but what I'm saying is there's a kid here. Your bill specifically deals with children and the State of Texas, and my question is, what do they do with the kid?

LANDGRAF: So this does not change––and I want to be very clear about this––this bill has no provision that would change what the obligation is for state or––

CANALES: So we're going to treat that child like any other child?

LANDGRAF: Representative Canales, please let me answer your question.

CANALES: I'm sorry. I apologize. Go ahead.

LANDGRAF: This bill contains no provision that changes the duty or obligation of local law enforcement to make accommodations for a child who does not have a guardian. But in the case of this particular violation of the Penal Code, we're talking about somebody who's being arrested for human trafficking.

CANALES: I'm not worried about the person arrested, Representative. I'm worried about the kid. So you're saying––your answer is that we're going to treat that child like every other child that's taken into the state's custody?

LANDGRAF: No, you never let me respond to your question. I'm saying that this bill does not change the obligation or duties of state or local law enforcement to make accommodations for a child. In this case, if an arrest would be made under this law, then the child––the minor child who's being misrepresented to law enforcement as being the offspring of the person who's committing the crime––

CANALES: Is now a ward of the state. They're in the state's custody.

LANDGRAF: Yes, but we're talking about somebody who's being separated from the individual who is trafficking them.

CANALES: But they're in the custody of the state. It's that simple, right?

LANDGRAF: Just the way that it would be with any other situation.

CANALES: Exactly. I'm not being argumentative. I just wanted you to follow me. So they're now in the state's custody. Does the state have to take care of that child, Representative? Does the state have to take care of the child once that person's been separated from whomever it is?

LANDGRAF: The state's obligation remains unchanged by this bill.

CANALES: Okay, so you wouldn't be––because I filed an amendment––then you wouldn't be opposed to an automatic provision for Medicaid benefits for any child regardless of their nationality?

LANDGRAF: If we were to do that, then that would change based on––I mean, why would that not apply for other violations?

CANALES: Well, I don't know. I just want to make sure that child is taken care of because you're saying the state has to take care of that kid. I agree with you.

LANDGRAF: I want to be clear. That is not a new obligation that's imposed by this bill.

CANALES: Well, I just want to make sure that a child that is not an American citizen has Medicaid benefits if indeed the state takes that child into custody. Would you be opposed to taking care of the child with Medicaid benefits?

LANDGRAF: I don't understand why––if this bill passes and becomes law––why a child who's a victim of a crime that's committed on this section of the Penal Code should be treated differently that other children.

CANALES: I agree. I agree, and that's why I want to ensure it. So you would then take my amendment?

LANDGRAF: Again, why do we want to select out children who would be victims of one particular provision of the Penal Code instead of making wholesale sanctions?

CANALES: Because this bill deals particularly with children. You want to protect them, and I want to protect them. You say they're already protected under Medicaid? They probably are. All I'm saying is if they are, why can't we ensure it? So you would take my amendment then, right?

LANDGRAF: Your amendment would be far too restrictive because it would only apply to a single violation of the Penal Code.

CANALES: No, I'm just talking about the kid.

LANDGRAF: I know, but only––

CANALES: So you don't want to protect the children then?

LANDGRAF: I absolutely do.

CANALES: Well, then take the amendment.

LANDGRAF: You are trying to be restrictive.

CANALES: I'm not being restrictive. I'm being protective of children. I'll lay out the amendment in a minute. I hope that you're amendable to protecting the children like you say you are.

REPRESENTATIVE BLANCO: I have a question on line 11 of the bill. Can you give us examples of what "affinity" is defined as? Who's included in the word "affinity"?

LANDGRAF: So "on consanguinity and affinity" essentially means individuals who are related directly in your lineage, so when you think of offspring and parents, and then brothers and sisters on affinity.

BLANCO: So it's as broad as brothers and sisters? It doesn't include aunts, uncles, grandparents?

LANDGRAF: Well, there are different degrees of consanguinity and different degrees of affinity.

BLANCO: Okay, so what degree?

LANDGRAF: As you can see on line 11 going on to line 12, the degree is not specified in the bill. But again, this is designed to coincide with existing federal law, so it was designed to match that as closely as possible.

BLANCO: So what does the federal law say?

LANDGRAF: These provisions of the bill that you've referenced track the existing federal statute.

BLANCO: And the federal statute defines "consanguinity or affinity" how?

LANDGRAF: Again, as I said, either offspring, parents, or on affinity, brothers, sisters.

BLANCO: Brothers, sisters. But it says "consanguinity or affinity." So what's the difference?

LANDGRAF: Consanguinity, again, has to do with lineage. Affinity has to do with sibling relationships.

BLANCO: Okay, so grandparents are not captured in this?

LANDGRAF: No, grandparents would be there in the line of consanguinity.

BLANCO: Okay, and what about aunts, uncles, cousins?

LANDGRAF: Again, based on the corresponding federal law, this does not prohibit or preclude anybody from bringing a niece or nephew or anything like that. This has to do with misrepresenting that fact. So in other words, with the intent to traffic or smuggle a minor child at a port of entry, you misrepresent that child as being a family member when in fact they are not.

BLANCO: Okay, so what data set are you using that says that this is a problem?

LANDGRAF: Well, we have anecdotal evidence I would be happy to share with you. We also have data that has been provided by U.S. Customs and Border Protection, CBP. So we have a number of data points that I'd be happy to share with you.

BLANCO: Can you please share that data?

LANDGRAF: Sure. Would you like to come here and take a look?

BLANCO: I'd like the body to hear exactly the data you're using that demonstrates this is a problem.

LANDGRAF: Well, I can provide a news story where this has happened very recently. In fact, I'll be happy to.

BLANCO: I prefer just the data not the story.

LANDGRAF: No, no. I mean, the story contains several data points. But while I'm pulling that up, I think it is important to note that this is designed to––again, this is not creating any new restrictions––this is designed specifically, especially with the Rodriguez amendment––

Representative Middleton offered the following amendment to HB 888:

Amend HB 888 on third reading, as amended by Amendment No. 1 by Rodriguez, by striking "engage in trafficking of persons (as defined by Texas Penal Code 20A.02)" and substituting "deceive".

REPRESENTATIVE MIDDLETON: This amendment simply returns HB 888 to the original draft, so as drafted as it came out of Calendars Committee. What that does is make sure that the bill is broad in the definition of the intent to deceive law enforcement for children that are not the child of the adult that is bringing them through a point of entry.

LANDGRAF: I appreciate Representative Middleton for bringing forward the amendment. However, the amendment that was agreed to yesterday on second reading was a very thoughtful and deliberate process, and we worked in good faith to adopt that amendment. I think that it tightens up what we're trying to do, which is specifically to prevent human trafficking. And so I cannot accept the amendment for that reason, not on the basis of policy but because we had a good faith negotiation to do that. So I cannot accept the amendment.

ANCHIA: I just want to emphasize what Representative Landgraf discussed just a moment ago in being against the amendment. I, too, rise against the amendment. It undoes the Rodriguez amendment of yesterday which narrowed the scope of this bill only to having the mental state of committing human trafficking. That is what this bill is about. That is what is before us today. And adopting the Middleton amendment would undo the deal that was struck yesterday with the Rodriguez amendment. So I am a "no" on the Middleton amendment.

MIDDLETON: Again, all this does is return the bill to the original draft. I think we need to be as broad as possible when we're protecting children.

SECTION ____.  Subchapter B, Chapter 531, Government Code, is amended by adding Section 531.0991 to read as follows

CANALES: This amendment basically says we're going to take care of the children that end up in the state's custody. I want to thank Representative Landgraf for working with me on this amendment. He's truly been a statesman, and it's acceptable to the author.

Amendment No. 2 was adopted.

VanDeaver

We registered a no on HB 888 because the basic bill is a good bill, but the amendment which was added on was a bad amendment and negated the original bill.

Anderson and Bohac

I am concerned that the addition of Amendment No. 2 provides benefits to unaccompanied minors by automatically enrolling them in Medicaid services. This would be a departure from the original intent of this bill. I can no longer support this bill with such a drastic, anti-taxpayer provision added at the last minute without proper debate.

Cain

We support the original intent of HB 888. We do not support Medicaid expansion or taxpayer money being appropriated to illegal immigrants, which is why we recorded a no vote on Amendment No. 2.

Harris and Hefner

I voted against this bill that I supported since an amendment was added by Representative Canales.

Paul

I support the purpose of HB 888 adding a state criminal penalty for lying to immigration officials about whether a person is the parent of a child. Human trafficking is evil and must be addressed with the full weight of the law. However, I do not support an expansion of Medicaid for noncitizens using Texans' tax dollars, regardless of age. That is why I registered a "no" vote on the Canales amendment.

Schaefer

We supported the bill until the Canales amendment that added Medicaid for illegal immigrants was adopted. We don't want any taxpayer money appropriated to illegal immigrants.

Stickland and Tinderholt

The accepted Canales amendment made this bill one that I could not support.

E. Thompson

Let it be known that I was excused to attend a funeral for a peace officer, Andrew Ethan Howe of Marble Falls. I supported the original purpose of HB 888 and I would have supported the Middleton amendment strengthening the bill. I would not have supported the addition of the Canales amendment which expanded spending tax dollars on Medicaid for illegal immigrants.

Amendment No. 5 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE C. TURNER: I appreciate you working with a variety of members to make sure everyone's clear on what the bill does. I just have a couple of questions I'd like to put for purposes of legislative intent. Is it correct that nothing in the bill, specifically in the section that deals with legislative privilege, would allow nondisclosure of information, materials, or conversations that would obscure or abet an alleged violation of state or federal law, including a criminal violation or an alleged violation of either the Texas or U.S. Constitution?

REPRESENTATIVE GEREN: Legislative and attorney-client privileges may not be used to aid in the commission of a criminal offense. In all other settings, courts will apply well-settled balancing tests just as they do in other proceedings to determine the production of information. This bill does not affect, alter, or modify those judicial tests.

C. TURNER: Thank you, Representative Geren. And is it correct that nothing in the bill provides authorization or grants permission for a communication or document to be destroyed, concealed, or withheld if it is evidence related to an alleged violation of state or federal law or an alleged violation of either the Texas or U.S. Constitution?

GEREN: Thank you, Mr. Turner. The existing duties of member and legislative agencies to preserve records in accordance with records retention schedules or rules of evidence related to the preservation of information needed for litigation are not affected by this bill.

Representative C. Turner moved to print remarks between Representative Geren and Representative C. Turner on CSHB 4181.

The motion prevailed.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE M. GONZÁLEZ: Would you please discuss your intent with this legislation and how you see the agency working with vendors who have a statewide contract, such as publishing companies?

REPRESENTATIVE VANDEAVER: Absolutely, thank you for the question. As I stated earlier, it's my intent that all vendors who deal directly with student information or have statewide approved or adopted materials that they only use a student identifier that's set forth by the Texas Student Data System. This system is already in place. These identifiers are already there. We just have some vendors who are not using them. We have to protect the student data. That is first and foremost. This bill also calls for the agency to establish a data sharing agreement which will limit the data that the vendor can use strictly to the data that vendor needs. They cannot do any data mining on our students, and I think that's very important. I will say we have pushed the effective date out to 2021 just to give everyone an opportunity to gear up and be able to do this.

CSHB 4150, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to safety and inspection requirements for certain utilities that provide electricity.

REPRESENTATIVE PADDIE: Members, there's all sorts of reasons why we bring bills before this body, and many times they're because of constituents. There are times when we're trying to right a wrong or fix a problem. Sometimes, unfortunately, it's due to tragedy. This is one of those bills. On August 5, 2017, Will Brannon, Thomas Larry, and Heath Faucheux, Boy Scouts with Troop 620, were electrocuted when their catamaran came into contact with a low-hanging power line on the Lake O' the Pines in my district. The goal of CSHB 4150 is to prevent another tragedy like this taking place. Before I can continue, members, I would like to recognize the families. Any family members who are here, if you would stand up? These families have been instrumental in the crafting of this legislation, and I can't tell you the level of strength that they've shown.

Electric utilities currently inspect their power lines and conduct maintenance as needed as a result of those inspections. CSHB 4150 simply requires them to report to the PUC the amount of their transmission system that they inspect, any instances of violation of the National Electric Safety Code, and injuries and fatalities as a result of those violations. This reporting will provide that knowledge not only to the public but to the utility and the industry itself, allowing the utilities the chance to self-police. It is my sincere hope that this kind of public accountability will help shine light on dangerous situations, giving an impetus to correct these situations and ultimately save lives. I've prepared a floor amendment which I'm about to offer and accept that is the product of a lot of negotiations to try to address concerns on the practicality of certain provisions contained in this committee substitute. Of course, the families have been intimately involved with that. I'd also like to thank the industry for their hard work and dedication in negotiating in good faith to come up with a product that we can accept and move forward. I want to thank the members who have joined me up here. I want to thank the families that are represented for their efforts. They always said that in the midst of this horrible tragedy, the only thing they wanted was for something good to come out of it, and that's why we're here today.

(S. Davis now present)

SECTION ____.  This Act may be cited as the William Thomas Heath Power Line Safety Act.

PADDIE: Members, again, with respect to the families and honoring these young men, this amendment simply says that this bill will be the William Thomas Heath Power Line Safety Act.

Amendment No. 2 was adopted.

PADDIE: Let me first say that I want to thank Representative Dean who is my neighbor there in East Texas. We share a constituency of folks who love the lakes and, of course, love our communities there in East Texas. I appreciate his work on this effort as well. And with that, I'll yield for questions.

REPRESENTATIVE DEAN: Chairman Paddie, thank you for your work on the bill, which I believe will help make great strides in public safety for all Texans. I'd also echo your sentiments about the great loss these families have suffered and commend their efforts to make sure no family has to experience their pain. Just to clarify something in CSHB 4150, in Subsection F there are some exceptions for the reporting. Those instances include violations attributable to natural disaster, weather event, man-made act, or force outside of a utility's control. Would normal wear and tear on the line, sagging due to normal conditions, or even gravity be considered a force outside a utility's control?

PADDIE: No, Mr. Dean. Those examples would not be included in the exception. Those are normal issues faced by utilities every day and are why they are and should be conducting routine maintenance.

DEAN: Thank you, Chairman Paddie.

PADDIE: Again, members, thank you for standing with us today. And thank you to the families. Because of the time of session, this bill was on the calendar, obviously, earlier in the week as many of yours are. I believe Tuesday, actually. They've been here ever since anxiously awaiting, and so I appreciate them doing that. If we could, before I move passage, if the families, if you would stand one more time.

CSHB 4534, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the rates and other funding of the Texas Windstorm Insurance Association.

REPRESENTATIVE LUCIO: This is CSHB 4534, and this is also relating to TWIA, but this deals with rates, members. After Harvey, Governor Abbott placed a moratorium on rate increases for TWIA, and that's because TWIA funding is complicated. When I got appointed to the Insurance Committee, it took me some time to appreciate how funding for TWIA works. I can bore you with the nuances, but what I'll tell you simply is that it's a layered funding. We pass it that way for a reason, and every layer contributes a different amount as premiums are being paid.

There are two very distinct opinions on whether or not TWIA is solvent, and there are good cases made with both opinions. There's one opinion that TWIA funding can cover $5 billion worth of damages in a storm season. To give you perspective, members, Hurricane Harvey was $1.4 billion worth of coverage. That means that we had $3 billion-plus still available if another hurricane hit. And then there's another prevailing opinion that will tell you that TWIA's not solvent and we need to raise rates. What I will tell you is this layered funding is very complicated, and it has several different approaches to funding claims as they are filed. One of them is reinsurance. Reinsurance is what you pay, and it is at the top layer so that it is a last resort way of funding claims being paid. We pay––out of the premiums that residents on the coast pay––we pay $100 million a year for over $1 billion in reinsurance coverage. Yet in the last 10 years, members, not a single penny was spent out of reinsurance. So in 10 years, premiums were paid for a product that we did not use to the tune of $1 billion. The intent of how this layered funding should work is not being followed.

So what this bill does, given the devastation of Harvey and the recovery that's happening, is lock in the rates that are in there now and create a two-year, real, impactful study so that we can come here and provide you suggestions and clear directions of how we should move forward with TWIA funding and whether rate increases are merited or whether they're not merited. But the fact of the matter is, we cannot make that decision. I want to honor the governor putting this moratorium on rate increases so that we can truly appreciate and work hard collectively, members, to do something meaningful about TWIA rates when we come back in two years.

REPRESENTATIVE TINDERHOLT: In the questions I'm going to ask, I'm not trying to corner you. My concerns, and I talked with Representative Middleton, my concerns are the constituents in my district. I want to make sure that these expenses are not shared. How many counties are coastal, 12 to 14?

LUCIO: Correct.

TINDERHOLT: Where it's actually required, correct?

LUCIO: Well, where they're written. Yes, sir.

TINDERHOLT: So there are about 240 counties that this shouldn't affect, except for the fact that I have fear that my district or maybe the other 240 counties could be affected. So I'm going to ask some questions pertaining to that. So the first question is that right now what the actuaries calculated last year is that homeowners are 32 percent inadequate and commercial properties are 38 percent. So there's less than 70 percent of the real cost that's being paid. Coastal lawmakers had opposed a 10 percent increase that was postponed until June. Does the bill block that 10 percent increase?

LUCIO: What this bill does is lock in rates as they exist today.

TINDERHOLT: So essentially it blocks the 10 percent increase.

LUCIO: Let me address something you said. During Hurricane Harvey, 80 percent of the claims were paid with premiums from the policyholders, and then bonds were used to pay portions of the other claims. Very few claims, if any, were assessed on insurance companies. And let me dive further into that. You have to remember that insurance companies came to this state and said, we want to discriminate and not write on the coast. And the states said, okay, we will give you that right. They're banking that. And they benefit many, many, many years when natural occurrences don't happen, hurricanes don't hit. So they discriminate––and we allow them to discriminate––and cherry-pick where they want to sell policies. We are one of many states that has a TWIA-type insurer of last resort. And let me tell you, Representative, we all support the depopulation of TWIA, and we have responsible insurance companies coming in. So yes, in some circumstances there are assessments, but they're nominal at best. And the majority of the claims is paid by ratepayers on the coast, by some bonds that are supported by rates on the coast, and few is spread throughout the state.

TINDERHOLT: But some are. Some are.

LUCIO: Nominal. I have State Farm, and when I pay my State Farm claims, it goes into a pool. I have home insurance, and I have this additional product, windstorm. But my State Farm claims get paid into a bigger pool that's used to pay claims in your district and so on and so forth.

TINDERHOLT: Such as?

LUCIO: My homeowner's, my car insurance, my business insurance, my law office insurance, my Orangetheory Fitness one, my Orangetheory Fitness two.

TINDERHOLT: But TWIA rates are specifically set according to TWIA loss history and projections to what future TWIA losses are. So they don't include hail damage in Dallas and Fort Worth at all.

LUCIO: That additional product does not, right?

TINDERHOLT: Correct.

LUCIO: Because we don't cover that particular incident when it occurs with general homeowner's policies like other policies. So when you have a hailstorm in your district, a portion of my basic homeowner's policy goes to supplement that, doesn't it?

TINDERHOLT: Yes, but––

LUCIO: Yes it does, right? But before your constituents have to supplement a claim on TWIA, 80 percent of it is paid already through ratepayers on the coast.

TINDERHOLT: Do you carry hail coverage in your district?

LUCIO: I'm fully insured.

TINDERHOLT: So the reason I ask that is, I don't need TWIA because I don't live in one of those 14 counties, and I don't have to worry about that because I don't live down there. Is that a fair assessment?

LUCIO: If you were to have similar damage to your home, the reason you don't have TWIA is because you don't have hurricanes, and insurance companies become very specific on the cause of damage. But you can have similar damage to your home with a tornado or another type of natural disaster. So maybe they're less regular, but we allow insurance companies to discriminate. Let us not forget that. And all this bill does––mind you, I could sit down with you and have a very long conversation about how the funding stack is not being used as it should. Mind you, going back to my layout, Harvey cost $1.4 billion. We set up a TWIA layering structure that should accommodate $5 billion worth of damages, with premiums or assessments that insurance companies negotiated and accepted as part of the TWIA layering funding but that don't get paid because we keep resetting and going back to the bottom layer. Do you understand what I mean by that?

TINDERHOLT: I do.

LUCIO: Because I'm trying to get into the specifics, and it seems like you're just having a philosophical "I don't like TWIA because."

TINDERHOLT: I do want to make sure that my constituents don't end up paying higher premiums. For example, Section 1 talks about that current premiums can't be used for a historical event, which essentially ends up with bonds, correct? You mentioned that there's bonds. There's about $500 million in bonds. There's about $300 million left. Essentially, does this money get passed down to the individual insurance agencies?

LUCIO: Say that again, I apologize.

TINDERHOLT: These bonds that aren't used, do they get pushed down to the individual insurance company?

LUCIO: The premiums for the bonds––so we have CRTF, that is a savings account that is filled by premiums paid by ratepayers on the coast. Then we have bonds that are––and I don't want to misspeak––but I think primarily funded with premiums collected in the CRTF. Then you have assessments, and then bonding again, and then assessments, and then bonding, and then assessments. And then we have this huge stack of reinsurance that we pay for on the coast for that premium to the tune of $100 million a year. And we in the last 10 years have never used that reinsurance coverage. So that is why this needs to be studied.

TINDERHOLT: I understand the study part, but because---

LUCIO: So we could, if we study, we could essentially save all premium payers, not only on the coast but throughout the state, the cost of having to pay out claims during a hurricane. But the fact of the matter is we have the structure we have. This bill doesn't change that. What this bill does, in my opinion, is let us solidify whether or not TWIA is solvent. And I have been not told to the contrary. When I speak to administrators within TWIA, they say, well, no, we think we're good; we think we have plenty of coverage. So if that's the fact, then why do we have to raise premiums? And why do we have to raise premiums at a time when it's most devastating to constituents on the coast?

TINDERHOLT: So the bonds? We were just talking about the bonds.

LUCIO: Correct.

TINDERHOLT: So this bill does change and say that current premiums can't be used for historical events, correct?

LUCIO: I don't believe so.

TINDERHOLT: The way that I read, it does. And it concerns me because when they can't be paid, there's a bond that happens. And when the bonds happen, are these bonds always going to be paid out of current premiums even though the bond was created because of a historical event?

LUCIO: Whatever the impacts of this bill, they're for the next 18 months. And we come back here and we can make a decision based on the intensive work that I and my committee plan to do to determine whether or not the current funding at TWIA is the right approach given current state of affairs in our state.

TINDERHOLT: My fear, again, in asking any of these questions is that––I truly fear this, and I know other members have come to me and talked to me about it, too––that the TWIA rates and the things that happen on the coast should not affect me. But essentially you had admitted earlier that they do in a small amount. But my job is to come here and protect my constituency, and I want to make sure that my constituency gets protected.

LUCIO: You are already benefitting from TWIA. Let me tell you how you're benefitting from TWIA and how your constituents are benefitting from TWIA.

TINDERHOLT: Let me finish, please. I want to make sure my constituency is protected from increasing rates.

LUCIO: And I'm answering that question. Your constituents have benefitted significantly. And Mr. Middleton behind you will explain that there's a lot more hail claims than there are Hurricane Harvey-type claims. They benefit significantly from month-to-month lower premiums on their homeowner's insurance because––

TINDERHOLT: But I'm not required to have TWIA, you are. And you can choose to have hail damage or not have hail damage.

LUCIO: No, we cannot choose to have TWIA. How are we going to be able to purchase a home?

TINDERHOLT: Well, let me rephrase.

LUCIO: Let me finish what I was saying. Your constituents are allowed to save month to month––year to year in many circumstances when natural occurrences and hurricanes don't hit the coast––in lower premiums because their insurance providers don't have to write on the coast. They don't. This is a net savings for insurance companies. TWIA benefits insurance companies. They get to discriminate and many, many times, because they're discriminating, can charge lower premiums to people in other parts of the state. And in the rare circumstances that we have a hurricane, they pay a fraction of their proportionate share, and it's only in proportion to the amount of policies they write in our state. This is a net benefit to people outside the coast. I assure you, we brunt all of it.

TINDERHOLT: Out of respect for time and for you––I have a wonderful relationship with you.

LUCIO: And I'm surprised you didn't come and see me before this conversation.

TINDERHOLT: I talked to Mayes a little bit, but I'll tell you that I'm going to vote no on this bill, but I appreciate you answering my questions. Thank you, sir.

REPRESENTATIVE MIDDLETON: So I want everybody to be clear on this bill. Does TWIA take general revenue from the state?

LUCIO: Absolutely not.

MIDDLETON: It does not. Yes, that's what I thought. Also I had a question on damages. It's my understanding that in the past 10 years that in the State of Texas, there have been over $22 billion in hailstorm claims and approximately $9 billion in hurricane claims. Does that sound correct to you?

LUCIO: Sounds correct to me.

MIDDLETON: And one of the issues that we have had is that on the Gulf Coast, you cannot have a mortgage typically without a TWIA policy. So in other words, this is a program that impacts homeownership and private property rights for a lot of our state and a lot of the population in our state. So are you aware of the large TWIA premium rate increases in the last 10 years?

LUCIO: Absolutely. And unfortunately, Representative, they are buying more in reinsurance than what is required by statute. There could be an argument made they're misappropriating the premiums and buying more in reinsurance than we will ever use, given how they execute spending the layers of TWIA funding. That is why we need to look at this in this interim, and I look forward to working on that with you.

MIDDLETON: I had one last question. So it's your understanding that our TWIA premiums have gone up significantly in the past 10 years. Does 71 percent increase in the last 10 years on people's TWIA premium sound correct to you?

LUCIO: That sounds correct. That sounds correct, and I assure you if our colleagues like Representative Tinderholt had a product that his constituents were paying that had risen in price 71 percent in the last seven years, we would be having a very different conversation.

MIDDLETON: And that's its own way of taxing people out of their own homes because again they can't have mortgages without a TWIA policy. So this bill fixes that. You've brought a good bill.

REPRESENTATIVE SMITHEE: Can I have your attention for just one minute, and I'll be brief. I'm a firm believer that everyone in the house should know what he or she is voting on, and so I'm speaking on the bill because I've worked on these issues for a number of years, and I just want to clear up a couple of things. One is that since Hurricane Harvey, the insurers of this state have been assessed $281 million. Now, that money is passed directly to policyholders in the rest of the state. So that means that we're talking around $10 per citizen of Texas as I figure it, and my math's not great, but that's about $40 per family. And so the average homeowner's insurance policy has been assessed which means our constituents have paid a significant amount more money. That's the way we do it. That's fine, we're glad to do it. But here's the purpose of this bill. It has three or four devices within the bill that are designed to reduce the rates that TWIA policyholders pay. That will reduce the pool of money available to pay claims, many of which are still left over from Hurricane Harvey. The bill does nothing to reduce losses. In fact, the previous bill that we defeated and which has been moved for reconsideration will increase losses. So the result of this bill that I hope every member understands is that if you vote for this bill, it will affect the rates that your constituents pay for their insurance products. Their personal insurance products––it will increase those rates. Not by a lot but by some. Now, if you want to do that, and there are a number of reasons to do it––maybe out of the kindness of your heart or what other reason or some of the reasons that have been offered––then I would say go ahead and do it. And that's fine. That's a decision each member has to make. I can't get by with that decision because I represent an area where insurance rates will go up as a result of this bill. That's my only point is I want every member to understand what we're getting ready to do.

REPRESENTATIVE CANALES: So I take it you're not for this bill, is that correct?

SMITHEE: I'm going to vote against it, but I'm going to leave it to all the members to vote their districts, whatever they choose to do. And I have no doubt that some members––well, a lot of members off the coast will probably vote for this. That's their prerogative. They're certainly free to do that.

CANALES: You mentioned earlier––you said it's going to raise the rates. And correct me if I'm reading this wrong, my understanding is it's going to freeze the rate so that we can study it and figure out what the rate should be.

SMITHEE: Are you in TWIA?

CANALES: Am I in TWIA? I'm close to that area, yes, sir.

SMITHEE: Well, you're either in or you're not in TWIA. And if you're in TWIA, it will prevent your rates from rising, which is fine, but somebody's got to pay that money. And it will be in assessment to the insurers who then will typically at will just add it––

CANALES: But does the bill freeze the rate at this point or not?

SMITHEE: In TWIA?

CANALES: Yes.

SMITHEE: It doesn't freeze the TWIA rate. As I understand the bill, it imposes a maximum five percent increase. Anything over that would have to obtain prior approval from the commissioner. None of us have prior approval of our insurance rates in this room. The only people that would have that would be TWIA policyholders.

CANALES: Is the intent of the bill, as you understand it, to study the rates so that we can figure out what the proper rate is?

SMITHEE: Well, first of all, we know the proper rate because TWIA has done actuarial studies that show that the rate is, I believe––this isn't exact––but about 30 to 35 percent lower than it should be. It's lower than what actuarially would be justified.

CANALES: And I'm not an expert, I'm just trying to understand it. I know that you're very entrenched in this issue. But the question I've got is, I was listening to the debate and one of the things I heard was that the rate had been raised many, many times in the recent past and it was up almost 40 percent. Is that what you heard?

SMITHEE: It is. It's been averaging about five to seven percent a year, but that's been fairly typical for everyone in the state. And the other thing is that TWIA rates were artificially lowered in 1991, which created some real problems later on down the line. So a lot of this has just been catch up getting back to where they should be.

CANALES: Chairman, how long is the period that it's gone up––relatively, what I heard, 40 percent––how long did it take to raise to that rate of 40 percent?

SMITHEE: I don't know the answer to that question, although it's been going up an average of about five percent a year, some years a little bit more. Typically, following a disaster it'll go up.

CANALES: It's not going up around seven percent?

SMITHEE: It may well be an average of around seven because there have been two storms in the last 10 years. We had Ike and––well, two and half storms––we had Ike and we had Harvey. And so as a result of that, that's increased rates, yes.

CANALES: And correct me if I'm wrong, but this would to some degree freeze it so we could figure out what the rate should be and let's adjust it.

SMITHEE: Well, there is a study in here, and I certainly commend the study. I think the study should be done, but there's a lot of other things in here, too, that are designed to lower the rates.

CANALES: So you do agree that there should be a study to determine a more accurate rate?

SMITHEE: Mr. Canales, I think, yes. We've studied this a lot, everybody has, but we still don't have a real good grasp on answers. And I would even say the study should be even broader, not just on rates but how do we deal with this long-term? Because we can't just disown the coast. We need the coast, and we want to help the coast. I genuinely want to share the risk with the coast, okay?

CANALES: Chairman, so you and I have come to an agreement here between this back and forth that we do need a study to determine the proper rate. So we've agreed on that. And so then I would say that the one thing that we're not agreeing on is that we should freeze it until we've actually determined that rate.

SMITHEE: I don't think the bill freezes rates, and it shouldn't freeze rates. I mean, this is a business. It should be a business, and the rates should be adequate to cover the risk.

CANALES: But earlier you said that you thought the bill raised the rate.

SMITHEE: It will permit raises up to five percent, which is in statute now, but as I read it, it will require prior approval to do that.

CANALES: So the real issue then, so the body can understand, is that we have, one, you can let the rates continue to climb while we study it, or we can study it and freeze the rate so that we can determine what we're going to do. And my respectful opinion is to agree with you on the study, but I'd say while we're studying it, we should stop the rates from climbing. But I appreciate the dialogue back and forth, and I appreciate your opinion and your hard work.

SMITHEE: The thing is, if you freeze––it's not done that you freeze rates––but if you artificially lower rates on TWIA policyholders, you're going to increase rates for people off the coasts. That's the problem.

CANALES: How long do you think the study would take?

SMITHEE: I'm sorry?

CANALES: How long do you think the study would take?

SMITHEE: Well, it depends on how thorough a study you do, who does it. I mean, I think you could certainly do it within the interim.

CANALES: So then at this point, the only question we would be talking about is freezing this thing until the interim's over, until where we get a good rate, until we know what the rate should be.

SMITHEE: Well, certainly, members can vote to do that if they want.

REPRESENTATIVE HUNTER: Now, I want your attention. I want your attention. Mr. Smithee and I disagree 1,000 percent. Ladies and gentlemen, I didn't see many of you all after the special session from August 25, 2017, to today. Then I have somebody come up here attacking the coast and saying how these rates are okay. Let me tell you something, members. I get letters every day or meetings or calls, along with Chairman Morrison, saying they can't live here anymore because of TWIA rates and property taxes––the two issues I get every day. Now, let's talk about our opponents' position. They don't want us to freeze TWIA. You know what TWIA asked in their legislative agenda? They asked to be exempt from nepotism laws. Boy, that sounds like a really good group. Members, Chairman Morrison and I had people living in tents six months ago. I didn't hear all this concern. I didn't see all this help when people couldn't find homes. I have people like Representative Middleton who still can't get in their homes. Now, members, what is this awful bill about? It's about studying rates so that we can quit coming back here. I'm tired of TWIA and coast bashing. Oh, we love you coast, but we want you to dry up.

Now, let's look at the bill that Chairman Lucio laid out. Number one, it relates to a study for the next year and a half so we can say, what is the best rates for TWIA policyholders. What does it do? It says, TWIA, we're going to freeze you until we come up with the right rates. And guess what? The governor froze it through June. Now, what I'm asking you to do is––I don't care if Representative Allison lives in San Antonio. You know what? I can name 10 of his voters that have homes that are affected by TWIA. I can go through almost every one of your districts and talk about your residents. All I care about is that we finally put this to bed. I'm no fan of TWIA. I'd love to have a private market where my folks and your folks can get insurance. But I'm really bothered to live through a hurricane where people still have no homes. We don't even know where some of our teachers are. And then I hear a speech about, oh, this is bad, and this is awful. You want to see bad and awful, come down and look at damage that still exists in your State of Texas. We still don't have hotels. We don't have restaurants open. And you haven't heard me complain this whole session, but now I'm getting out of my chair when I hear an attack on my residents and the 14 counties of this state. What this bill does is ask for a study. Freeze the rates until we can come up with something that makes sense. You know, as we say out in South Texas, "Trabajando juntos hacemos las cosas." Working together we get things done. Vote aye on this legislation.
