(Speaker in the chair)

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

HB 1927, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to provisions governing the carrying of a firearm by a person who is 21 years of age or older and not otherwise prohibited by state or federal law from possessing the firearm and to other provisions related to the carrying, possessing, transporting, or storing of a firearm or other weapon; creating criminal offenses.

REPRESENTATIVE SCHAEFER: We do have a third reading amendment that we've worked out. I'd like to lay out that amendment and then talk about it a little bit.

Representatives Schaefer, Thierry, Romero, and Huberty offered the following amendment to HB 1927:

Amend HB 1927 on third reading as follows:

(1)  Strike added Section 30.05(d-3), Penal Code, and substitute the following:

(B)  if the actor is unable to reasonably understand the notice described by Paragraph (A), other personal notice that is reasonable under the circumstances; and

(2)  Strike added Section 30.05(f-4), Penal Code, and substitute the following:

(2)  the actor:

(ii)  if the actor is unable to reasonably understand the notice described by Subparagraph (i), other personal notice that is reasonable under the circumstances; and

(3)  Strike added Section 46.15(m), Penal Code, and substitute the following:

(B)  if the person is unable to reasonably understand the communication described by Paragraph (A), other personal notice that is reasonable under the circumstances; and

SCHAEFER: There was a lot of discussion yesterday about this bill and some of the provisions, even relating to public schools, and I want to remind everybody and just state very clearly that this bill maintains all the protections under state and federal law regarding firearms or handguns at our public schools. You know, it is a third degree felony for anyone to possess a handgun or another firearm at a public school. It is a crime punishable by up to five years in prison for anybody to have an unlicensed handgun within 1000 feet of a school. We have provisions related to disorderly conduct. We have provisions in the Texas Education Code. And you can feel confident that voting for this bill, you're maintaining all the strong protections for our public schools. We had some discussion about those situations where somebody might, much like in the airport, be making a mistake and have an opportunity to depart in those instances at a business. Mr. Romero had some ideas about being able to provide a written communication so that an employee might not have to engage verbally with someone and just be able to hand them a written card or piece of paper reminding them about the store's policy and giving them an opportunity to leave. And we decided to go ahead and apply that written communication across the whole bill, which would include our public schools, so that written communication would also clarify that for our public schools. I think that is a reasonable and beneficial change here. And I would encourage all members––on a third reading vote we need everybody to vote for it––to support this amendment.

REPRESENTATIVE HUBERTY: I appreciate you working through this, and I would just like to state this publicly. Thank you for your work and being reasonable as we go through this process. You know, I've heard from both sides on this particular issue, and as you stated, guns are not allowed in schools. We know that.

SCHAEFER: Period, full stop.

HUBERTY: Federal law, state law, and you're adding the written communication. I think what you and I spoke about is that we're going to notify parents––as they communicate as they always do at the beginning of the year with their parents––here's the rules of the road where we're at. And I know Representative Thierry also worked on that, as you mentioned. So I appreciate that. The people that are calling our office, please stop, because we're clarifying exactly what the goal of this was. Now, you may disagree with the overall policy, but what you've done is you've worked with us in a very collaborative way with everybody. And the goal really is, on the written side of it, is to make sure that we notify. Because we do want to protect our kids at all costs, but we also want to make sure we protect our rights. And I appreciate you working with me.

SCHAEFER: Absolutely. And thank you to Representative Thierry and everybody who worked with us on this.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE MURPHY: Representative Schaefer, I just wanted to note the time you spent on the dais yesterday. I think it was about six hours. You dealt with every single person's concerns in a wonderful way. You treated everybody as they should be treated. You went into the details. Every matter was treated as a serious matter. And I just wanted to commend you on the way you've conducted yourself on a very hot topic. There's a lot of controversy around it, but you never inflated it. You kept it together, and we really appreciate that kind of work, sir.

SCHAEFER: Mr. Murphy, thank you very much. And the credit also for a bill like this goes to all the activists and the people who support this and come to the Capitol and over the years have spent countless hours advocating for their position on the Second Amendment. And I couldn't do it without Chair James White––who is the best chairman I've ever had––who made sure that this was possible and the support from the speaker and everyone all along the way.

REPRESENTATIVE BUCY: Just real quick––we didn't hit this topic yesterday. I received calls from our elections administrator, so I just want to get some clarity real fast. How does this bill impact polling sites while elections are happening?

SCHAEFER: This does not change the prohibitions at election sites.

BUCY: Because how I read it––I'm reading your language––and the bill says on page 19, and I'm quoting, "46.03 does not apply to a person unless the person personally received notice by oral communication." Elections not having guns are protected under Section 46.03. So I'm reading this, and under this bill, people can take a gun to a polling place while elections are happening until someone with authority tells them they have to leave.

SCHAEFER: Well, the written notice is now in the bill. Oral notice is now in the bill. That type of making sure that someone who just made a mistake is able to depart––that's what this bill does. That's what we've done at airports. That's what we've done at businesses now. And that's a policy that's worked in the State of Texas. We're not removing the prohibitions at polling places. There just is some accommodation for someone who might have made a mistake.

BUCY: So it's not your goal with this bill to allow guns to come into polling places?

SCHAEFER: Absolutely not. That would have to be a statutory change that's not part of this bill.

BUCY: Well, with the changes we're having potentially coming with the election law and how we can remove people, that's where the concern is. So I appreciate your insight there. And I hope if it's still not clear, if this bill moves forward, the senate will make sure it's clear if they can take this up.

REPRESENTATIVE RAMOS: In reading the HRO report yesterday, under the "Critics Say" area, I just want to be clear. I have some questions of clarification. So what we're saying today is that in the State of Texas there's no need for a background check, safety training, or any proficiency test before carrying a handgun in public, correct?

SCHAEFER: So this has nothing to do with background checks when people purchase a weapon. This bill doesn't touch that at all. And this says that a person who is legally able to possess a handgun, has never committed any crime, is a law-abiding citizen, would now be able to carry that handgun in a public place the same way that they've been able to carry a rifle or shotgun now for many decades in the State of Texas.

RAMOS: Okay, so the answer is yes, then. There is no proficiency test, no safety training, or anything before carrying a handgun in public?

SCHAEFER: It puts it on the same footing as we've treated long guns. And it puts it also––people have also been able to carry their handguns in their vehicles to and from their places of work, things like that, for a number of years.

RAMOS: Yes, sir. Okay. Now, in addition to your bill, and it's just for clarification, we are completely eliminating Chapter 46.035, entitled Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by License Holder, in the Penal Code, right? So now we're wiping that whole section of the Penal Code away, right, according to your bill?

SCHAEFER: What we did was in order to simplify that part, Chapter 46, or that part of the Penal Code, we took those provisions in 46.035 and moved them into 46.03. So we moved them around. We basically copied and pasted basically all of 46.035.

RAMOS: But that's not necessarily the case with all of it. I mean, for example, yesterday, when a representative tried to bring up an offense while intoxicated, that was in 46.035. That was not carried onto your current bill. So that's not necessarily true, is it? You didn't completely copy and paste everything from the "Unlawful Carrying of Handgun by License Holder" into your current bill, because I went through every single word. There are clearly some words here that are not copied in your current bill.

SCHAEFER: And we had the debate on those provisions yesterday.

RAMOS: Right, but so what you just said is not necessarily true.

SCHAEFER: I said most of them. I don't have the side-by-side in front of me.

RAMOS: Yes, sir. Okay––and final question. Under 46.03, Places Weapons Prohibited, now that is the section where we did add some provisions––for example, commitment to a civil facility. But I just want to be clear. Out of all of the places where weapons are prohibited, the actual code says, "A person commits an offense if the person intentionally, knowingly, or recklessly possesses or goes with a firearm, location-restricted knife, club, or prohibited weapon" and it lists all the places. It includes correctional facility. It includes hospital and amusement park. It used to include "on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship." But today––and yesterday––today we're voting to exclude that as a place where weapons are prohibited and absolutely allow that because it's completely eliminated from the current bill.

SCHAEFER: The policy on that has shifted in previous sessions. What we're doing in this bill is leaving those decisions to that church, to that synagogue, to that place of worship. They have the full ability to exclude firearms completely from their church or synagogue if they want to. That is current law. That's what they can do.

RAMOS: Sir, I'm reading the current law, and the current law says that a person cannot enter these facilities with a restricted knife, club, or prohibited weapon. I just want clarity. I mean a simple yes or no, sir.

SCHAEFER: Yes, that's right. So now the decision with respect to those places will belong to the people that run those places and own those places.

RAMOS: Thank you, Representative Schaefer. So to be clear, a simple yes or no, we are now removing a place under the current statute where it says in 46.03 of the Penal Code places where weapons are prohibited. A simple yes or no, sir. We have removed the section that says "on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of worship." A simple yes or no. Have we excluded that now as a place where weapons are prohibited? Yes or no, sir.

SCHAEFER: I know you want to try to put words in my mouth. But what we did, Representative, is we have removed that in order to not conflict with what the policy of the state is. So that the people who run a church and the leadership of a church or synagogue are not looking at one provision of the statute that says we can't and yet we know that they can allow them if they wish to. So we are conforming by removing that provision that says they can't. We're making it clear to them that it's your decision. It's the decision of the church. It's the decision of the synagogue. It's the decision of the mosque or any place of worship whether to exclude firearms from their premises.

RAMOS: But in fact, sir, it's not clear. It was clear when it was explicit in the code, but now it's completely removing it, not addressing it. And I encourage every one of you all to read through the bill to see if you find the word "church" or "synagogue" in there. I can assure you, you will not, because now it's been completely excluded. It's not really clear, and it is going to put our parishioners, our families at risk. So thank you, sir, for your attention today.

Representative Howard moved to print all remarks on HB 1927.

The motion prevailed.

REPRESENTATIVE THIERRY: I wanted to echo the sentiments we heard earlier today from Representative Huberty thanking you for working with us regarding this language on the earlier amendment. I just wanted to clarify a couple of things. You stated earlier today on the record that it is still illegal to bring a firearm to a school and that this bill in no way abridges or impedes or lessens the Education Code, correct?

SCHAEFER: Absolutely.

THIERRY: Okay. That's really important to me as a mom. So for every mama bear out there listening that wants to protect her cubs, is it fair to say or accurate to say that those fines that you mentioned, the third degree felony and the punishable by $10,000, still apply? This bill does not change that Section 37.125 of the Education Code.

SCHAEFER: That's correct.

THIERRY: Thank you very much. And the written notice, they can be oral or written, so our school districts, big or small, don't have any additional requirements. Correct?

SCHAEFER: Yes, that'll work. Thank you, ma'am.

THIERRY: Thank you for working with us, and I want to thank all the members. I think that we definitely put people over politics.
