We thank you that even in those times when we experience sorrow, confusion, and loss, you are there to sustain us, strengthen us, and uphold us.
Lord, help us to appreciate our differences as we seek to work together for the good of our state. Help us not to be quick to judge one another but rather to hear one another with respect and humility. Forgive us when we fail you. And Lord, on this day and on every day of this assembly, we humbly ask that you guide us in the way of honoring truth, governing wisely, and seeking always what is good and just. We pray all these things in your holy and blessed name. Amen.

AMENDMENT NO. 4 - STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT

REPRESENTATIVE HUBERTY: So Mr. Schaefer, what you're trying to do––this is a bill that I believe we heard in Licensing. This is something that you've been working on for a couple of sessions. Obviously, we heard positive testimony on this, and then, obviously, we've heard some concerns, perhaps, on this. And so just for clarification purposes––number one, the amendment to the amendment is allowing community colleges to participate. So for example, if you have a community college that's partnered with an ISD, as an example, that would be allowable under your amendment to the amendment. Is that correct?

REPRESENTATIVE SCHAEFER: Absolutely. Not only that, Mr. Huberty, but let's say someone is 20 years old and has already graduated from high school and wants to go to a community college and go through the same kind of program––they would be able to.

HUBERTY: So would the certification, then, for the community college be recognized under the College, Career, and Military Readiness bonus for the school districts at that particular time?

SCHAEFER: Absolutely. In the bill, the Board of Plumbing is going to be required to work with the Texas Education Agency in order to build this program and, of course, TEA is aware of all those requirements.

HUBERTY: One concern that we did hear––I think it was probably after your layout and your bill and after we voted––was the number of hours. Under current statute or in current law, it's something like 4,000 hours, and they were trying to figure out how do they do that in a two-year period of time. So how do we answer that question?

SCHAEFER: Well, it most likely won't be four years, but it will include classroom instruction and the practical hands-on component is mandatory in the bill. And so the number of hours in the classroom and the number of hours of practical hands-on component is going to be determined by the Board of Plumbing.

HUBERTY: So to put it in perspective, there's a concurrent requirement right now of about 4,000 hours. And so what you're trying to do is get students in high school the ability to expand CTE programs for their ability to have College, Career, and Military Readiness. But at the same time, the licensing board is still going to make the final determination on the practical experience that they have at that particular time. So you're not trying to take anything away. You're just trying to create another path for somebody who wants to have career technical education in the plumbing space. Is that correct?

SCHAEFER: That's exactly right, and in addition, there's actually going to be more classroom instruction brought to this type of license than exists under current law.

CSHB 1410 ON SECOND READING
(by Murphy)

CSHB 1410, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the issuance of bonds by certain conservation and reclamation districts.

CSHB 1410 - POINT OF ORDER

Representative Slaton raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 1410 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2), of the House Rules. The point of order was overruled and the speaker submitted the following ruling:

RULING BY THE SPEAKER
on House Bill 1410

Announced in the House on April 13, 2021

Representative Slaton raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 1410 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2), of the House Rules on the grounds that the bill analysis does not comply with the rule.
Mr. Slaton alleges that the bill analysis is defective because it does not specifically discuss certain changes made by the bill to existing law.
The bill consists of two substantive sections. The bill analysis adequately summarizes the changes to law made by those sections. The analysis is neither substantially nor materially misleading. See 80 H. Jour. 2999 (2007).
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.

A record vote was requested by Representative Slaton.

CSHB 1410 was passed to engrossment by (Record 184): 131 Yeas, 14 Nays, 1 Present, not voting.
