Our gracious, heavenly Father, we come to you today with hearts of thanksgiving. Lord, we just pray that as we continue our week and our session, that you would be with us, that you would guide us, Lord, that you would bear witness against our hearts. I just pray that we would bring honor and glory to your name. Lord, we're an imperfect people, but we're made perfect through the blood of Jesus Christ in your eyes. And I just pray, Lord, that you would forgive us of our sins and our trespasses against you and against one another.

So Lord, as we continue on in our session, guide us, walk with us, guide our thoughts, our actions, our deeds. I pray that we would treat each other with kindness and work together, Lord, to meet the needs of the people of this great State of Texas. We're honored to be in this chamber and to serve these people. And I just pray, Lord, that you would walk with us, guide us, and give us your wisdom. In Jesus' name we pray. Amen.

The following bills were laid before the house and read second time:

CSHB 103, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to establishment of the Texas Active Shooter Alert System.

REPRESENTATIVE LANDGRAF: I appreciate the opportunity to lay out CSHB 103, the Leilah Hernandez Act. Over the Labor Day weekend in 2019, a mobile gunman killed seven people and injured 25 across the Odessa and Midland communities. In the hours and the months in the aftermath of that shooting, suggestions came in from constituents and friends all across the state about what can be done immediately to help prevent massive losses of life like we saw throughout that month of August 2019. And the culmination of those suggestions is what you have here on this floor today.

The goal of CSHB 103 is to save lives and assist first responders through the creation of a statewide active shooter alert system. The alert system will utilize the federal wireless emergency alert system, which is the same system that's used for Amber Alerts, to inform Texans in the event of an active mass shooter in their area. An alert system of this kind could have helped spare the life of Leilah Hernandez, a 15-year-old Odessa High School student who was the youngest victim killed on that tragic day. Leilah's family and other victims' families are passionately advocating for this alert system. Leilah's mother, Joanna, provided powerful testimony for CSHB 103 in committee, and she's watching right now from her home in Odessa.

It's our hope and our prayer that CSHB 103 will prevent future Texas families from experiencing the pain and the loss that they are feeling and that far too many Texas families are feeling and have felt in recent years. And I sincerely hope that the passage of this legislation helps you and your family to take one more step on your healing journey, although I know nothing can ever replace the loved ones whom you've lost.

Representative Landgraf offered the following amendment to CSHB 103:

Amend CSHB 103 (house committee printing) as follows:

(1)  On page 2, line 14, between "agency" and "regarding", insert "or as the department determines appropriate to assist a local law enforcement agency".

(2)  On page 2, lines 15-16, strike "in a 50-mile radius of the active shooter's location".

(3)  On page 2, line 17, between "agency" and the underlined colon, insert "or department".

(4)  On page 2, line 24, strike "the department with".

(5)  On page 4, line 10, between "director" and "determines", insert "or a local law enforcement agency".

(6)  On page 4, between lines 12 and 13, insert the following:

LANDGRAF: Members, this amendment simply removes the 50-mile radius requirement, based on feedback that I received from members of the House Committee on Homeland Security and public discretion and flexibility to tailor an active shooter alert in the best interests of the public.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

LANDGRAF: I do want to thank everybody who's been involved with this. I want to particularly thank Chairman Drew Darby. Your work in the interim on the Select Committee on Mass Violence Prevention and Community Safety helped foster this discussion, and I want to appreciate all of your leadership at all those committee hearings.

And it's in Leilah's memory that we move forward with CSHB 103 and in the memory of all of those who have been lost to acts of mass violence in recent years throughout our state. So today I ask you to join me in voting for CSHB 103 to honor the memory of every Texan who has lost their life to mass violence. I'll be voting yes in memory of Leilah Hernandez, of Rudy Arco, of Kameron Brown, Raul Garcia, Mary Granados, Joe Griffith, and Edwin Peregrino.

Representative Rodriguez 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:

on Amendment No. 1 to House Bill 2404

Announced in the House on April 6, 2021

Representative Rodriguez 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 the creation and maintenance by the comptroller of a database of information regarding certain local development agreements.

The bill requires a local government that enters into a local development agreement to provide the comptroller with a copy of the agreement, and the information contained in the agreement forms the basis of the information that is required to be included in the database. The Slaton Amendment would amend the bill's provisions to require the database to include certain information about an entity's activities that are unrelated to the terms of a local development agreement.

The subject of the amendment and the subject of the bill are not the same. The amendment is not germane. 86 H. Jour. 5217-5218 (2019).

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

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 1.

HB 2404 was passed to engrossment.
