HB 1898 ON SECOND READING
(by Jetton, Rose, Price, Allison, S. Thompson, et al.)
HB 1898, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to a grant program to fund the provision by children's hospitals of mental and behavioral health services to children in this state.
Amendment No. 1
Representative Tinderholt offered the following amendment to HB 1898:
Amend HB 1898 (house committee printing) on page 2, between lines 2 and 3, by inserting the following:
(b-1) The commission may not award a grant under the grant program to a children's hospital that provides services, medications, or procedures for transitioning a child's biological sex as determined by the sex organs, chromosomes, and endogenous profiles of the child or affirming the child's perception of the child's sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child's biological sex.
Amendment No. 1 - Point of Order
Representative Geren raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 1 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules. The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Geren raises a point of order against further consideration of the Tinderholt Amendment (Amendment No. 1) under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.
The bill authorizes grants to children's hospitals for mental and behavioral health services to children. The amendment would prohibit the award of the grants authorized by the bill if the hospital provided certain services, medications, or procedures for children that are not limited to mental and behavioral health. The class embraced by the amendment is broader than the class covered by the bill. E.g., 87 H. Jour. 2d C.S. 229-230 (2021). The amendment is not germane.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 1.
