Dear Lord, we thank you so much for who you are and what you do for us. And Lord, we come to you today here before Easter, and we remember that you came to this earth born of a virgin. You died for our sins, and then you rose on the third day. And because of that, we have salvation. Lord, I just pray for everyone here, all of my colleagues, that you just bless them. I pray that each of us grows to honor and love you more.
I pray for the families of my colleagues that are having to be away, for the member that's here, and I just pray that you comfort their children and their spouse. We all make sacrifices to be here and serve, and I'm thankful to have everyone that's in this room with me. I pray that you be with us as we go through session. But we thank you because we could do nothing without you and what you've done for us. In your name's sake I pray. Amen.

Amendment No. 1 - Point of Order

Representative Moody raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 1 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The point of order was sustained and the speaker submitted the following ruling:

RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 567

Announced in the House on April 1, 2021

Representative Moody raises a point of order against further consideration of the Slaton 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 ensuring that children are not unnecessarily removed from their homes in suits affecting the parent-child relationship based on a certain class of activities.
The bill amends three Family Code sections that provide the statutory criteria in suits affecting the parent-child relationship for the removal of a child based on acts of a parent. The Slaton Amendment would amend the bill's provisions in this regard to include acts by a parent that include withholding consent to certain medical treatments for a child. Mr. Slaton acknowledges that the amendment would allow a parent to withhold consent to, or approval of, certain medical procedures that a child, in the exercise of personal judgment, may desire.
Based on Mr. Slaton's arguments, the Chair finds that the subject of this amendment is parental consent to medical treatment. The major purpose of an amendment determines its germaneness. 47 H. Jour. 1123 (1941). Any relationship to judicial proceedings over the parent-child relationship is merely secondary. The amendment is not germane.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 1.
