On motion of Representative Geren and by unanimous consent, all members who were granted leaves of absence on the previous legislative day were granted leaves for this legislative day.

Representative Geren moved to suspend all necessary rules to take up and consider at this time, on third reading and final passage, the bills on the local, consent, and resolutions calendar which were considered on the previous legislative day.

The motion prevailed.

On motion of Representative Geren and by unanimous consent, the house agreed to use the first record vote taken for all those bills on the local, consent, and resolutions calendar that require a record vote on third reading and final passage, with the understanding that a member may record an individual vote on any bill with the journal clerk.

Bills and joint resolutions were at this time laid before the house, read first time, and referred to committees. Resolutions were at this time laid before the house and referred to committees. (See the addendum to the daily journal, Referred to Committees, List No. 1.)

Pursuant to a previous motion, the following member was granted leave of absence for the remainder of today to attend a meeting of the Conference Committee on SB 1:

Walle on motion of Goldman.

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

HB 3, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to state and local government responses to a pandemic disaster, including the establishment of the Pandemic Disaster Legislative Oversight Committee.

Representatives Howard, Rodriguez, Martinez Fischer, Minjarez, Morrison, Huberty, Price, Muñoz, and Kuempel offered the following amendment to HB 3:

Amend HB 3 on third reading by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:

SECTION ____.  Notwithstanding any other law, if this state receives from the federal government an amount of $1 billion or more related to disaster or pandemic relief response after the governor has signed and the comptroller of public accounts has certified SB 1, Acts of the 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021 (the General Appropriations Act), or similar law, the expenditure of any of that money appropriated for the state fiscal biennium ending August 31, 2021, or for the state fiscal biennium beginning September 1, 2021, is contingent on the approval of that expenditure by the House Appropriations Committee and Senate Finance Committee in joint or separate hearings not later than 120 days after the enactment of the federal legislation authorizing the disbursement of the money. Federal money described by this section may not be spent until the secretary of the senate and the chief clerk of the house of representatives certify to the comptroller of public accounts that public hearings were held by those committees on the subject of the approval.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

Representative Parker offered the following amendment to HB 3:

Amend HB 3 on third reading on page 18, by striking lines 15 through 24, and substituting the following:

Amendment No. 2 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE C. TURNER: First, let me say that this bill has a lot of good intentions, and I sincerely appreciate Chairman Burrows for his work on this bill over the last several months. He and I visited about it several times, and I think he's brought it a long way over that period of time, and he's worked with a lot of members leading up to today and yesterday and through today and yesterday to continue to improve this bill. I sincerely appreciate that, and I hope the whole body does. But there's one, in my view, fatal flaw that this bill has that just can't be ignored, and that's the continuation of an attack on local control and our local leaders. So this bill is the house's blueprint for pandemic response. And to me, that means we should support adopting the best practices in dealing with the pandemic as we've done for the last year-and-a-half or had to deal with for the last year-and-a-half, whether that comes from a republican governor or a democratic county judge. Unfortunately, that's not what's happened in this body. Time and again this session, whether it's for pandemic response or elections efforts or public safety or any number of other issues that we've debated in recent weeks, there is this continuing attack on local officials, specifically county judges and mayors of Texas' largest cities.

But think about when it came to this pandemic. It was our local officials who took the lead. For example, in Dallas County, Judge Clay Jenkins, and in Harris County, Judge Lina Hidalgo, time and again took tough, decisive actions, at times unpopular actions, but they saved lives during this pandemic. Think about the stay-at-home orders last March. Judge Jenkins and Judge Hidalgo both issued those orders on March 23. Many members of this body and the house democratic caucus sent a letter to Governor Abbott imploring him to do the same the next day on March 24. The governor eventually did two weeks later on April 2. When the science became crystal clear that masks help slow the spread of the disease and help to save lives and reduce hospitalizations, again it was Judge Jenkins and Judge Hidalgo in Dallas and Harris Counties, respectively, who issued those orders on June 19, 2020. Governor Abbott followed, and I'm glad he followed, but it was two weeks later on July 2 that he took that action. And those judges were not alone. Mayor Sylvester Turner, our former colleague––Mayor Turner of Houston––was outspoken and has continued to show great leadership on this issue. In Bexar County, Judge Nelson Wolff is the one who solved the governor's complex executive order riddle on mask mandates. And my county judge who's a republican, Judge Glen Whitley, stepped up when our community needed him to take decisive action to help save lives and slow the spread of COVID-19.

But how are we saying thanks to them for their leadership? We're taking every step imaginable to limit their ability to manage a crisis in their communities, a job that they are sworn to do. So members, it seems like we go out of our way again and again, time and time again, to punish local officials, be they democrats or republicans, for doing their jobs, for keeping Texans safe, for listening to science, for trusting doctors and setting aside political agendas and what may be popular in a moment to do what they can do to help the people they serve.

And so this bill is unique because we aren't changing all disaster response statute. We're creating a parallel disaster response system specifically for pandemic disasters in which an infectious disease impacts at least one-fourth of Texas counties. And you could argue there's no better time to embrace local control than in this exact type of disaster situation. There's no better time to allow each county across the state facing such a challenge to identify what works best in their region and take local action accordingly. Instead, we continue to ignore the good work of local officials and their staffs who have worked endless hours over the last year to keep their communities safe. So we can't set aside good ideas just because they come from a locally elected official, even when those local officials happen to be democrats. I know that some of them are republicans. It's shortsighted to take that approach. It's wrong for Texas. It's wrong for our communities and for our districts. And that's why I would urge you to vote no on this bill.

REPRESENTATIVE SCHAEFER: Go back with me to last year. Do you remember the phone calls that you got? I remember some of the phone calls that I received. One in particular from a woman who cut hair, with three kids––she's the sole provider for the family. She'd been unable to get her unemployment application through––no money. And she's listening to the news and she's hearing the governor of Texas use the word "jail" in the same sentence about going to work. Members, this bill does not restore the checks and balances that are required under our Constitution. We are drifting. Let me remind you of what the Texas Constitution says. Article I, Section 28 in our Bill of Rights: "No power of suspending laws in this state shall be exercised except by the legislature." Let me remind you of Article II, separation of powers––the legislature makes the law; the executive enforces it; the judicial branch calls balls and strikes.

We had a situation last year where the governor did two things simultaneously that are unconstitutional. He took those statutes that gave people a right to work and he said, "I'm suspending them." You can't work even though the law says you can, says you can sell alcohol, says you can open up your barbershop––suspending the law against the Constitution. Moreover, he created a crime. He literally went into Chapter 418 of the Government Code and said, I'm going to create a crime, right there in the Government Code, in the state plan. And I'm going to charge my law enforcement officers, the TABC, TDLR, and other places to enforce that crime.

So members, we've already made up our minds on this bill. But I'm telling you, I'm against this bill because this bill is unconstitutional. This bill creates a commission that would ratify the governor's unconstitutional acts. This bill creates a commission where we would delegate lawmaking authority to this commission, this committee in this bill. Where in the Constitution do we have the ability to delegate our lawmaking authority? Where? It's not there. It's not our power to give. Even if you think it's a good idea, it's not a power we have to give. So we are drifting, members. We are drifting away from the fundamental law school 101 basics, separation of powers. The legislature makes the laws, the executive enforces them, and the judicial branch applies them. That's not what this bill does. This bill takes us away from the Texas Constitution and what we were founded upon. So I'm hopeful, members, that this session we will have another opportunity to see a bill before this body that would put us back on track. But this bill is not it. And for that reason, members, I do oppose HB 3.

HB 4661, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to sexual harassment by lobbyists.

The chair recognized Representative S. Thompson who addressed the house, speaking as follows:

We heard this bill that deals with sexual harassment and ethics. And for a long time in this building, persons have worked and they've been under a lot of pressure because of that conduct. And it's not only women––men, as well. I'm going to pause and let you look at yourselves and give yourselves a pat on the back because you've done something in this bill that no state legislature since the history of the Republic of Texas has ever done to make this place a sexual harassment-free place for men and women to work. We know that we had some incidents where a person alleged conduct that may have proven not true. But you know what happened?

We had a person who took this very spot that I'm standing in and talked about the kind of conduct that we were going to operate under the pink dome. And not only talked about it and gave a speech but went into action. And I was able to file this bill with the help of several of you in this room who helped to put the pieces together. And nobody would have ever believed that we would be gutsy enough, number one, to have a leader to stand up for women in this state and say that enough is enough. And it wasn't pillow talk. It was because it was the right thing to do for a leader of this body. It was the right thing to do for the people who work in this state legislature, this building that we hold as a hallowed place to work. And I'm not saying he did it because his wife told him. He did it because it was the right thing to do. And I'm going to ask you to join me in applauding him for standing up for decency and for integrity and for standing up––because you know it wasn't something real popular that you could go back home and say, "look what I took a vote on"––but he took a statesman position.

And then I want you to pat yourselves on the back for being statesmen, because you never looked at this bill yesterday and said, "Will I get reelected if I vote for this bill? Will my constituents vote me out of office? Will I make a bad mark on the scorecard that's going to go into my district?" No, you didn't do that. You stood up for decency, integrity, and principles. And I want to congratulate this legislative body because you were the first body––the first body in the 87th Legislature––that took a stand for decency and for people who work for us no matter who they may be. They said, "Well, they're going to punish the lobbyists." We put ourselves under this bill, and we put the executive branch under this bill. And we said if we want accountability, we're going to stand for it and we're going to make sure that everyone else does the same thing. Everyone does the same thing. And I'm proud to serve with each and every one of you because you stood for the right thing, not because it was popular, because it was right to do.

Biedermann

Representative Schaefer submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:

I support the intent of this bill to address sexual harassment. However, the deficiency in due process for an accused citizen requires me to oppose the bill. The bill is focused on persons who are exercising a First Amendment right under the U.S. Constitution. Given the gravity of the constitutional right which could be stripped from a person who has been charged, but not convicted, I believe stronger due process measures should be included. I would have voted yes if the bill provided for stronger due process safeguards.

Representative Tinderholt submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:

Fundamentally, I agree with the intent behind Representative S. Thompson's bill. The entire culture around the Capitol needs to change, regardless of any individual allegation. To be clear, I am not opposed to requiring legislators, lobbyists, or the executive branch from completing sexual harassment training. That is a needed reform.

Where HB 4661 goes wrong for me is that it authorizes the director of the Texas Ethics Commission, an unelected, executive branch official with no judicial responsibilities, to restrict the speech of individuals without court involvement. In the United States of America, we all deserve a presumption of innocence.

In fact, there was an occurrence just this session that refocused legislators on this important issue. The individual who had an allegation brought against him was fully exonerated by the Department of Public Safety and the Travis County District Attorney's Office in five days. Had the policy established under this bill been in place, the director of the Texas Ethics Commission could have inflicted undue and irreparable harm on this individual.

I am proud the legislature has finally decided to act on this issue. If this bill were changed to apply only to those convicted or found to have committed the alleged actions by a court, I would support it. In fact, those found guilty of any sexual offense in and around the Capitol should be permanently banned from registering as a lobbyist. Short of that, I must register against this bill.

HB 4545, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the assessment of public school students and the purchase of certain instruction-related materials, the establishment of a strong foundations grant program, providing accelerated instruction for students who fail to achieve satisfactory performance on certain assessment instruments, and an accelerated learning and sustainment outcomes bonus allotment under the foundation school program.

Representative K. King offered the following amendment to HB 4545:

Amend HB 4545 on third reading as follows:

(1)  In added Section 28.0211(a-4), Education Code, strike "Supplemental instruction provided by a school district under Subsection (a-1)(2)" and substitute "A district may only provide supplemental instruction under this section if funds available for the purpose are provided to the district. Supplemental instruction provided under this section".

(2)  In added Section 28.0211(a-6), Education Code, strike "and may provide" and substitute "and shall provide".

(3)  In added Section 29.0881(e), Education Code, strike subdivisions (1) and (2) and substitute the following:

(1)  financially support or train or otherwise prepare educators and other staff;

(2)  pay for agreements with other entities to provide prekindergarten services; or

(4)  In added Section 39A.064(c), Education Code, strike "A district or school that does not comply adequately shall be subject to other interventions in accordance with this chapter, including the appointment of a conservator under Section 39A.102.".

REPRESENTATIVE HUBERTY: Chairman King, there was some confusion, I think, about this. We've got all kinds of bills that are floating around here. We know that there were two pots of money that came into the stated funds that were passed. One was ESSER II money that came in in December that we're dealing with and the school finance bill, HB 1525, that's been voted out of the committee in the senate and will come to the floor and come back to us. And that will have about $5 billion in additional money that's going in.

REPRESENTATIVE K. KING: Correct.

HUBERTY: There's also ESSER III money that came in a relief fund that was passed under the new administration in January that was roughly $12 billion or so, of which $11 billion went directly to schools with no accountability. Is that correct?

K. KING: That is 100 percent correct.

HUBERTY: And by law, every state was allowed to hold back 10 percent of funds to be used for incentive programs. Is that not correct?

K. KING: That is correct.

HUBERTY: Okay, and so what this bill does is it creates the incentive programs as allowed under federal guidelines, and what Chairman Dutton is doing is using those funds. And what you're doing with your amendment is allowing us to distribute those funds to low-performing schools and mostly, as we see it, Title I campuses and for children of color that we're talking about, to get them up. And we spent a lot of time last session, if my memory serves me correctly, with HB 3 looking at improving reading and getting kids at grade level. Is that not correct?

K. KING: That is correct.

HUBERTY: And so what we're trying to do and what we're trying to accomplish in working with everybody here is––and we understand where everybody's at on the tests and all the other things associated with that––creating baselines. And we're not asking them to take a new test. Is that correct?

K. KING: That is correct.

HUBERTY: We didn't have accountability last year. We don't have accountability this year. Is that correct?

K. KING: That's correct.

HUBERTY: So we have data points that we're going to be using to be able to distribute those funds in grant programs. That is permissive. Is that not correct?

K. KING: That is correct.

HUBERTY: That's what the bill does, and if we don't pass this bill, the $230 million is going to do what?

K. KING: It's going to sit in TEA.

HUBERTY: It's going to sit with TEA. So this bill allows us to get additional resources into the classroom to help the kids that need it the most, especially the ones that are falling behind. Is that not correct?

K. KING: Absolutely, Mr. Chairman. I drafted this amendment and the two we put on this bill yesterday because we can debate accountability and how we do assessments in this state from now on. I don't want to stop the kids that need it the most from getting the $230 million.

HUBERTY: That's right.

K. KING: Because I certainly don't think it needs to sit in a bank account at TEA and do nothing.

HUBERTY: That's right. And so we have additional resources in addition to that, so there's another 750 that's probably out there for additional programs that are in different bills that we're looking through this process as we continue. So I don't want people to be confused. And the concern that I've seen is that you have superintendents out there who are, "Oh, just send us the money. We'll do it." Well, that's money that we're allowed to use to incentivize the districts to drive outcomes. That's what we're looking for. Is that not right?

K. KING: That is correct.

HUBERTY: Thank you very much for your amendment. I think it's a great amendment. I appreciate you working with everybody standing up there to get this done. I think it's important for people to understand the difference of what this is doing and what the goal is.

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

REPRESENTATIVE DARBY: Just to follow up, we heard a couple of amendments yesterday and today from Ken King, and I think this moves the bill in a great direction. Several of us had problems with tying the funding to the accountability of the STAAR test. So I just wanted to reemphasize what Chairman Metcalf said and that you'll do everything in your power to hold the line and keep the commitments we've made with the Ken King amendments in your bill.

REPRESENTATIVE DUTTON: Yes, I will do that. Now, I just want to say that we can't let this $250 million sit in TEA. That would be a travesty, and I think you all share that concern with me. So that's the one thing I want to do, and I know I have your assurance that when we try to do everything we can to get this money to the kids who need it most, you will join me in doing that.

DARBY: Well, we thank you for your commitment and making sure the schoolchildren get that money to them. And I also celebrate the commitment of Ken King and those behind you in making sure we get that money without being tied to the accountability.

DUTTON: Right, and we listened to the members in here, so that's why we did this, to make sure that we could accommodate all of the different points of view around here to make sure that we got this money directly to the kids who need it the most.

SJR 27 was considered in lieu of CSHJR 72.

SJR 27 was read second time.

REPRESENTATIVE LEACH: SJR 27 very simply proposes a constitutional amendment making it explicitly clear that the state or any political subdivision of the state cannot close down or limit our houses of worship or religious services. Period. That's what it does. It's simple and it's straightforward, but it is vitally important. I would argue that it's one of the most important things we might do this session is to protect the fundamental rights of our fellow Texans to practice their faith, to congregate with fellow believers, to attend church or mosque or synagogue, to meet with fellow believers in prayer and worship and service to their citizens. In many cases across this nation over the past year and even in some instances here in the State of Texas, we've seen a shocking violation from some government officials of those fundamental rights to practice our faith. And it's my hope that the members of this body can take a firm stand in conjunction with our colleagues in the senate, who voted 29-2 in support of this SJR, to send a loud message to the people of Texas, no matter what faith they may practice or whether they have no faith at all, and also to the rest of this country that here in Texas we're going to stand strong for people of faith and for their rights to practice their faith as they choose and as they deem fit, whether it's at a time of emergency, crisis, pandemic or in a time of peace and calm. And so with that, members, it's simple and straightforward.

REPRESENTATIVE CANALES: If you look behind me, the words say, "In God we trust." The Bible says that man does not live on bread alone but from every word that comes from the mouth of the Lord, our God. Receiving the word of God, the Bible says, is the only place and the only way that you can get faith. And as a Catholic, I can tell you that failing to attend Sunday mass in my religion is a mortal sin. What does that mean? It means your soul dies. So I will tell you that no government, no mayor, no governor, no one should be able to keep you from going to church. We've heard a lot of hypotheticals––nuclear disasters, pandemics. Yeah, that might be the place you want to be. All we have, in what I believe, is our everlasting soul. And to commit a mortal sin and to be denied the privilege to worship God is not something the government should ever have its hand in. So the reality is here we have a chance. If it's dangerous and you want to go to church, well, by God, you go to church. I will tell you this. Stand up for people like me and for people that believe. You heard Representative Leach say this isn't just about Christians. This is about mosques. This is about all people of faith. Don't deny people the one thing that truly matters, the hereafter. Support this measure.

SB 700 was passed to third reading.

Representative Murr moved to suspend Rule 8, Section 5(d), of the House Rules to designate as house sponsors and co-sponsors for SB 1093 all joint authors and co-authors for HB 408.

The motion prevailed.

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

CSHJR 4, A joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment authorizing the denial of bail under some circumstances to a person accused of a violent or sexual offense or of continuous trafficking of persons, and requiring the denial of bail to a person accused of capital murder or a sexual offense involving a victim younger than 17 years of age under most circumstances.

Representative Moody offered the following amendment to CSHJR 4:

Amend CSHJR 4 (house committee printing) as follows:

(1)  On page 1, line 9, strike "Sections 11d and 11e" and substitute "Section 11d".

(2)  On page 1, between lines 12 and 13, insert "by clear and convincing evidence".

(3)  On page 2, lines 2-3, strike ", not otherwise required by this section or by general law,".

(4)  Strike page 2, line 8, through page 3, line 4.

(5)  On page 3, lines 10-13, strike ", and requiring the denial of bail to a person accused of capital murder or a sexual offense involving a victim younger than 17 years of age under most circumstances".

Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

Representative Crockett raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHJR 4 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(5), of the House Rules. The point of order was overruled and the speaker submitted the following ruling:

on House Joint Resolution 4

Announced in the House on May 11, 2021

Representative Crockett raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHJR 4 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(5), of the House Rules on the grounds that the comparison statement of the bill analysis is materially misleading.

Ms. Crockett argues that the comparison statement omits any mention of the changes made by the committee substitute to the introduced measure's ballot language for the proposed constitutional amendment.

The committee substitute made several substantial changes to the introduced measure. All of those changes are adequately summarized by the detailed comparison section.

Under Texas law, a joint resolution's ballot language must give fair notice to the voter of the purpose of the proposed amendment. Hill v. Evans, 414 S.W.2d 684, 692 (Tex. Civ. App.---Austin 1967, writ ref'd n.r.e.). Otherwise, the amendment could be declared void by the courts. See id. at 692-693. It is a fundamental principle that where a committee substitute changes the content of a joint resolution, the ballot language must be updated to give the required fair notice. In these circumstances, this background assumption is not required to be stated in the comparison section.

Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.

CSHJR 4, as amended, was adopted by (Record 992): 104 Yeas, 35 Nays, 1 Present, not voting.
