Gracious and good God, creator of all life, of everything good, we thank you for calling us together this day. Your call to each of us to serve is through the voice of your children who we serve. We find ourselves in a time of great need to care for the stressed little ones at our doorstep, to help heal the sick during this plague, to feed the hungry and the families that have lost their livelihood. May God grant us the grace to oversee the direction and the process of hearing and listening to the voice of the people. Shower upon us your gifts of compassion, of justice, and wisdom. Give us a deep respect for one another as we work toward implementing the common good as is your will and that we may serve nobly. We ask all of this through the Lord who leads us and who lives and serves forever and ever. Amen.

SECTION 5.  This Act takes effect on January 1, 2022.

Amendment No. 2 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE MOODY: I will ask you to indulge me for a moment because this is something that has been in the works for over seven years. It's important to thousands of Texas families. Like many of you, I spent last weekend celebrating Easter with my family. The death and resurrection of Christ is Christianity, but it also guides the work I do because it's explicitly an account of criminal justice. Jesus was put through the legal process of his time. He was arrested, had a preliminary examination not unlike our probable cause hearings, and then had a trial where he was convicted and given an unwarranted and unduly harsh sentence of death. His experience reminds me that our human systems can and do get it wrong.

And when he hung on the cross, there were two criminals being crucified beside him. Those were people who had done terrible things. Crucifixion was reserved for the worst of the worst. One of them mocked Jesus, but the other repented and acknowledged that he had been justly punished. He then asked Jesus to remember him when he came into his kingdom. Jesus' response is something that has always stuck with me. Even as he was being tortured to death, Jesus looked at this man, this thief who'd done loathsome things, and told him, I say to you today that you will be with me in paradise. We as Catholics now call that penitent thief a saint.

His story reminds me of the other side of the criminal justice system––rehabilitation. Who we've been doesn't have to define who we are or who we will be. Our system aims to punish in ways that fit the crime––sometimes wrongly, as Jesus' death shows us. But our hope is also always for those who've done wrong to change and be redeemed. Criminal justice reform as a whole is about finding that intersection, that balance between justice and mercy. And that's what CSHB 686 does.

Members, if we can't find it in our hearts to offer a measure of grace to kids, those who in many cases have spent at least as much time behind the walls as outside of them, then I don't know what we're doing in Texas justice. This is a path to redemption for children who've proven to the toughest critics in our system, our conservative, governor-appointed parole board members, that they've changed and deserve to breathe free air under the watchful eye of a parole officer. If a thief can repent and become a saint, we can offer a second look to the children who've done wrong, paid the price, and shown they've become different people. Members, for those young people who erred, for the families that love them, and for the grace in all of our hearts, I move passage.
