We thank you for the opportunity to serve our fellow Texans and ask specifically for wisdom, discernment, a loving spirit, patience, mercy, humility, understanding, and a vigilant awareness of the Holy Spirit and its actions in our lives. We pray that you would remove from our hearts all bitterness, the desire of vain glory, and the pride of life. Fill us with faith and love, O Lord. All these things we pray in Jesus' name. Amen.

HOUSE BILLS

CSHB 8 ON SECOND READING
(by Pacheco, White, Dean, Guillen, Collier, et al.)

CSHB 8, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to access by a hiring law enforcement agency to an applicant's employment records.

Amendment No. 1

Representative P. King offered the following amendment to CSHB 8:

Amend CSHB 8 (house committee report) as follows:

(1) On page 1, strike lines 5 and 6 and substitute the following:

SECTION 1. Section 1701.451, Occupations Code, is amended by amending Subsection (a-1) and adding Subsections (d) and (e) to read as follows:

(2) On page 1, between lines 14 and 15, insert the following:

(d) A law enforcement agency that makes a person's employment records available to a hiring law enforcement agency under Subsection (a-1) shall provide a copy of the records to the person.

(e) A law enforcement agency that obtains employment records under this section may not disclose any information contained in the records.

(3) Add the following appropriately numbered SECTIONS to the bill and renumber the SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:

SECTION ____. Section 1701.456(b), Occupations Code, is amended to read as follows:

(b) A law enforcement agency, agency head, or other law enforcement official is not liable for civil damages for:

(1) a report made by that agency or person if the report is made in good faith; or

(2) making a person's employment records available to a hiring law enforcement agency under Section 1701.451(a-1).

SECTION ____. Subchapter J, Chapter 1701, Occupations Code, is amended by adding Section 1701.459 to read as follows:

Sec. 1701.459. CERTAIN AGREEMENTS RELATED TO EMPLOYMENT RECORDS PROHIBITED. A person licensed under this chapter may not enter into an agreement with a law enforcement agency employing the person under which the agency is prohibited from making the person's employment records available to another law enforcement agency under Section 1701.451(a-1).

AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE COLLIER: Representative King, I just want to get some clarifying information about what you're doing with your amendment. If you go to Section (b)(2), you're saying, "making a person's employment records available to a hiring law enforcement agency under Section 1701.451(a-1)." So if another agency, I guess a law enforcement agency, is inquiring about the employment history of the officer, would those records be available to that law enforcement agency?

REPRESENTATIVE P. KING: Yes, this requires that they be made available.

COLLIER: Okay. So I thought I was reading this to say that you could not share that information.

P. KING: No, no, no––quite the opposite. The problem is they'll get the applicant to sign a reference thing saying to release my records. They send it to the other agency. Commonly, the other agency has a policy from their city attorney's office, liability, HR––we won't release those records. Or they'll say something like, well, you can come look at them. Well, a small department doesn't have the personnel to send 300 miles. Mr. Pacheco is trying to fix that by making it electronically available, but they're still not going to get it a lot of times. And then, to make it worse, sometimes when you get somebody to resign, part of the deal is well, you'll seal my employment records and never show them to anybody. And this prohibits the sealing of those employment records also. But to protect the officer, out of complete equity and fairness, the other agency, once they get those records, they can't give them to anybody else. They can only use them for that background investigation and that's it.

REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED

Representative Tinderholt moved to print remarks between Representative Collier and Representative P. King on Amendment No. 1 on CSHB 8.

The motion prevailed.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

CSHB 8, as amended, was passed to engrossment.

(4) adjust the calculation to include the portion of delinquent taxes owed by a taxpayer that were scheduled to be paid under an installment agreement during the 2019-2020 or 2020-2021 school year but that will be paid during a later school year than the school year in which they were originally due, if the taxpayer subject to the installment agreement owns properties in a school district that, in total, account for more than 7.5 percent of the district's total taxable property value; and

(5) [~~(4)~~] if a school district or open-enrollment charter school receives a waiver relating to eligibility requirements for the national free or reduced-price lunch program under 42 U.S.C.

AMENDMENT NO. 17 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE BAILES: Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, many districts' largest taxpayers have suffered extreme volatility, leading to the establishment of delayed payment agreements and alternative solutions for payment. In June 2020, Boomerang Tube LLC entered into an installment agreement for the payment of delinquent taxes to the Liberty County Tax-Assessor Collector. According to the Liberty County Appraisal District, Boomerang Tube LLC owed around $1.4 million of that outstanding liability to Liberty ISD. Liberty ISD ended its 2019-2020 fiscal year with M&O tax collections of $9 million. The reduced level of collections significantly reduced the district's entitlement out of the formula transition grant created by HB 3. The commissioner has previously made a COVID-related ADA adjustment for purposes of the formula transition grant so that districts can avoid cutting staff and reducing resources for the students. Many districts across the state have likely suffered some impacts to the tax collections as a result of the pandemic. This amendment adjusts the maintenance and operations revenue calculations to consider any delinquent taxes owed by a taxpayer that were scheduled to be paid under an installment agreement during the 2019-2020 school year but not paid during the latter school year. Not accepting this amendment will have catastrophic effect and extend an extensive financial hardship on some school districts, including one in my very district. While I believe the author agrees that the policy has merit, the author cannot accept it at this time. Therefore, I withdraw the amendment.

Amendment No. 17 was withdrawn.

Amendment No. 19

Representative Krause offered the following amendment to CSHB 1525:

Amend CSHB 1525 (house committee printing) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTIONS to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:

SECTION ____. Section 403.302, Government Code, is amended by amending Subsections (b) and (c) and adding Subsection (b-1) to read as follows:

(b) In conducting the study, the comptroller shall determine the taxable value of property in each school district:

(1) using, if appropriate, samples selected through generally accepted sampling techniques;

(2) according to generally accepted standard valuation, statistical compilation, and analysis techniques; and

(3) [~~ensuring that different levels of appraisal on sold and unsold property do not adversely affect the accuracy of the study; and~~

[~~(4)~~] ensuring that different levels of appraisal resulting from protests determined under Section 41.43, Tax Code, are appropriately adjusted in the study.

(b-1) In conducting a study to determine the values for a tax year, the comptroller may consider a sale of property only if the sale occurred during the preceding tax year.

(c) If after conducting the study the comptroller determines that the local value for a school district is valid, the local value is presumed to represent taxable value for the school district. In the absence of that presumption, taxable value for a school district is the state value for the school district determined by the comptroller under Subsections (a) and (b) unless the local value exceeds the state value, in which case the taxable value for the school district is the district's local value. In determining whether the local value for a school district is valid, the comptroller shall use a margin of error that has a range, the upper limit of which is 105 percent of the state value and the lower limit of which is 90 percent of the state value, [~~does not exceed five percent~~] unless the comptroller determines that the size of the sample of properties necessary to make the determination makes the use of such a margin of error not feasible, in which case the comptroller may use a larger margin of error.

SECTION ____. Section 403.302, Government Code, as amended by this Act, applies only to the study conducted under that section for a tax year that begins on or after January 1, 2022. The study for a tax year that begins before that date is covered by the law in effect immediately before the effective date of this Act, and the prior law is continued in effect for that purpose.

Amendment No. 19 was withdrawn.

CSHB 1525 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE ASHBY: I want to thank you for all the work that you've done here on this cleanup bill in CSHB 1525 and the work we did last session on HB 3. In particular, as you highlighted in your opening comments, when we left here last session, we worked really hard in conference to help all of our school districts––rural, urban, suburban––from the smallest to the largest, and we did that. But there were some unintended consequences, specifically as it pertains to our career and technical education courses that are offered in our schools, and I want to thank you for your work on that. But as you've laid out here, we have in the bill a fix for that, and that's due in large part to those three gentlemen standing behind you, as well as Representative K. King, for their work on this specific issue. And I guess, really, my question is, is it your intent as the bill author to keep the language regarding our CTE fix in throughout the process as we head over to the senate with this bill?

REPRESENTATIVE HUBERTY: Yes, sir, it is.

HCR 51
(by C. Morales, Neave, Romero, Perez, et al.)

HCR 51, Urging the United States Congress to pass the I am Vanessa Guillén Act.

HCR 51 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE C. MORALES: First of all, I want to recognize all of the members who served in the military and thank them for their sacrifice and service to our country. Members, think about your children and grandchildren. Imagine your child at a very young age wanting to serve our country. You worry, but you proudly stand behind her decision. You cry as she leaves for boot camp. Fourteen months into her service, you realize she is not happy. She expresses concerns about what is happening on her base. Your worst nightmare starts to unfold. Your heart sinks when you realize she is missing.

Members, Vanessa Guillén was my constituent. She was a daughter and a sister. Sadly, Vanessa Guillén's family lived this nightmare. Vanessa went missing from the largest military base in the world––a military base that you would assume is the safest place to which you could entrust your child. For two months, her family waited in agony, hoping that their precious Vanessa would be found alive. Vanessa was found. Now we know that she was sexually harassed, brutally murdered, dismembered, burned, and buried under concrete.

Members, Vanessa Guillén was a Texan, one of our own. Her story and #IAmVanessaGuillen sparked a national wave of support for her family and brought to light more stories of sexual harassment and fear of retaliation in the military. This resolution is our sympathy card to the family. This resolution urges Congress to take action through the I am Vanessa Guillén Act. This resolution will not bring back Vanessa Guillén, but it will recognize the loss of this precious Texan and bring the family some comfort knowing that we support them and acknowledge this horrific loss.

Amendment No. 1

Representative C. Morales offered the following amendment to HCR 51:

Amend HCR 51 (house committee printing) as follows:

(1) On page 1, lines 14 through 16, strike "when commanding officers make charging decisions, investigations being made by untrained service members,".

(2) Strike page 1, line 21 through page 2, line 6 and substitute "Act has been introduced in the U.S. House of Representatives; and".

(3) On page 2, line 13, between "Act" and the semicolon, insert the following:

, legislation ensuring that necessary changes are made, such as preventing conflicts of interest, requiring independent investigations that are conducted by trained investigators, establishing a confidential reporting option for sexual harassment that can convert to a formal complaint, and directing the Government Accountability Office to evaluate response procedures related to missing service members

C. MORALES: This amendment addresses concerns that were brought to me, and I want to thank those members that contributed to the conversation about this resolution.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

C. MORALES: Members, HCR 51 urges the United States Congress to pass the I am Vanessa Guillén Act. Please join me in taking this step to always remember Vanessa and to help the Guillén family begin to heal.

HCR 51, as amended, was adopted by (Record 390): 146 Yeas, 0 Nays, 1 Present, not voting.
