HB 1760 ON THIRD READING
(by Hefner)

HB 1760, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the prosecution of the offense of possessing a weapon in certain prohibited places associated with schools or postsecondary educational institutions.

HB 1760 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE MORALES SHAW: I just wanted to make sure that I read the bill and understood it. These are easy, they're not trick questions or anything. Last session, we passed a bill that did not permit, it was actually an exception to another bill, firearms on school property or where there were interscholastic events taking place where the students were. Is that correct?

REPRESENTATIVE HEFNER: We passed this same bill out of the house last session. Is that what you're talking about?

MORALES SHAW: We passed a bill and we had an amendment, it was the Thierry Amendment, that limited constitutional carry on school property or where there were interscholastic activities where there were students attending. That's my understanding that we passed that last session.

HEFNER: I'm not familiar with the exact bill you're talking about, if you had the bill number—but we have not addressed gun-free zones regarding schools at all, nor in this bill do we either.

MORALES SHAW: Okay. It's my understanding that what this bill does, and I just want to make sure I understood it correctly, is it makes an exception to that exception which means that you still can't carry firearms on school campuses, but if there's an interscholastic activity—like a sporting event or any kind of school event—and it's not on school-owned property, it's on private property, then we still have constitutional carry.

HEFNER: No. We had some clarifying questions yesterday, this does not prohibit private property owners from prohibiting firearms on their property. This is just to clarify what a school-sponsored event is and what the premises is, and so no it does not mess with the private property owner's rights whatsoever.

MORALES SHAW: I think I understood yesterday's back mic questions which means if I'm a private property owner, I have one of those statutory signs that says "You can't carry a gun here," I can still do that?

HEFNER: Correct.

MORALES SHAW: Okay, I understood yesterday's questions. My clarification today is that if there's an interscholastic or other student activity, as long as it's not on a school-owned property or on school campus for that matter, then there's not a restriction to carry a firearm?

HEFNER: No, if it is a school-sponsored event, then they are still prohibited. So if the school can have a school-sponsored event at property that's not school property, then guns are still prohibited there because it's school-sponsored activity.

MORALES SHAW: Okay. So where does this exception allow firearms to be carried when it has to do with students?

HEFNER: So it would be like if you're in the Texas Capitol, for instance, and you're carrying your firearm in the Capitol and a local school comes down for a field trip. It's just to clarify that that doesn't become a school-sponsored event and make all those people carrying in the Capitol felons. It's just a clarification.

MORALES SHAW: Okay, I appreciate that, Representative Hefner.

HB 1898 ON THIRD 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 (on third reading) on page 2, between lines 2 and 3, by inserting the following:

(b-1) No funds awarded to a children's hospital under the grant program may be used to provide mental health services affirming the child's perception of the child's sex if that perception is inconsistent with the child's biological sex.

AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS

REPRESENTATIVE JETTON: I've spent the last two sessions on Public Health, listening to hours and hours of testimony when it comes to gender modification of children. And there's no doubt in my mind that there is a need for a bill to fully address gender modification, gender-affirming care here in Texas. I believe there's a bill that is going to pass this house that addresses that issue. The bill that I am bringing here today is strictly for children's hospitals to be able to get the funding, so that when a child goes to an emergency room—either attempting to commit suicide, having suicidal ideation, or having some sort of extreme situation—that there are beds and services available for that child. That is what this bill does, it does not pertain to gender modification of any type. And so in my attempts to keep this bill that has been worked on by many stakeholders to preserve the hard work that was put into this bill, I am asking you to vote no on this amendment.

A record vote was requested by Representative C.J. Harris.

Sec. 39.1517. NATURAL GAS MARKET MONITOR. (a) An independent organization certified under Section 39.151 shall contract with an entity selected by the commission to act as an independent market monitor for the natural gas market to:

(1) detect and prevent market manipulation strategies in the natural gas market to prevent the unreasonable restriction, impairment, or reduction in the level of competition; and

(2) recommend measures to enhance the efficiency of the natural gas market.

(b) In this section:

(1) "Market monitor" means the entity selected under Subsection (a).

(2) "Natural gas market" means transactions made by a gas supply chain facility described by Section 86.044(b), Natural Resources Code, or a gas pipeline facility described by Section 121.2015(a)(3) to supply natural gas for the electricity supply chain, as mapped under Section 38.203.

(1) support and cooperation the commission determines is necessary for the market monitor to perform the market monitor's functions; and

Rules governing ethical standards must include provisions designed to ensure that the personnel of the market monitor are professionally and financially independent from participants in the natural gas market. The commission shall develop and implement policies that clearly separate the policy-making responsibilities of the commission and the monitoring, analysis, and reporting responsibilities of the market monitor.

(h) The market monitor immediately shall report directly to the commission any potential market manipulations and any discovered or potential violations of commission rules, protocols of the independent organization, or rules of the Railroad Commission of Texas.

(i) The market monitor shall consult with the Railroad Commission of Texas to obtain necessary information for the market monitor to perform the market monitor's functions. The commission may enter into a memorandum of understanding with the Railroad Commission of Texas to:

(1) ensure the market monitor has access to the information needed for the market monitor to perform the market monitor's functions; and

(2) provide oversight over the sharing of information between the Railroad Commission of Texas and the market monitor.

(j) The personnel of the market monitor may communicate with commission staff on any matter without restriction.

(k) The market monitor annually shall submit to the independent organization, the commission, and the Railroad Commission of Texas a report that identifies market flaws and recommends methods to correct the flaws.

CSHB 2127 - POINT OF ORDER

Representative Bryant raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 2127 under Rule 8, Section 3, of the House Rules and under Article III, Section 30, of the Texas Constitution.

(C.J. Harris in the chair)

The speaker overruled the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:

Mr. Bryant raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 2127 under Rule 8, Section 3, of the House Rules of Procedure and Article III, Section 30, Texas Constitution, on the grounds that the bill contains more than one subject.

Mr. Bryant argues that field preemption is a judicial doctrine and not a substantive matter that can serve as a subject of legislation. The standard for finding a violation of the one-subject rule is a heightened one. 78 H. Jour. 5586 (2003). Here, the standard was not met.

Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.

REPRESENTATIVE PATTERSON: I'm sorry, it was kind of loud in here. Can you just repeat what this bill does?

REPRESENTATIVE HERNANDEZ: It's just saying that the zoning commission is only required to have one hearing, currently the code says "must conduct hearings," multiple hearings and for instance, in smaller cities when things are uncontested we want things to move to relieve the backlog.

PATTERSON: So you're talking about a planning and zoning commission at the city level?

HERNANDEZ: In their preliminary report, yes.

PATTERSON: Okay and these planning and zoning commissioners, these are appointed by the city councils in most cases, is that correct?

HERNANDEZ: Yes.

PATTERSON: Okay, and then you're just trying to streamline things to have one hearing instead of multiple hearings, is that what the bill does?
