HB 1708 ON THIRD READING
(by Canales, Leach, Sherman, Burrows, and Moody)
HB 1708, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the temperature at which a facility operated by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice is maintained.
HB 1708 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE VASUT: Representative Canales, your bill benefits not only the prisoners, but also the guards that work in the prisons, is that right?
REPRESENTATIVE CANALES: Correct. So TDCJ has an average turnover of about 21.9 percent among prison guards and a 40 percent turnover rate within the first year of employment. And that's because the temperatures in many of our prisons are over 100 degrees. In fact, the prisoners have a respite, which means they can go to a cooling center, but the guards cannot. And so the temperatures are dangerous, and because we're losing employees and nobody wants to work in the prisons because the climate control is not there. In fact, there's already a mandatory climate control for county jails, but in our state jails temperatures are over 100 degrees. It's pretty incredible.
VASUT: Isn't one of the goals, whenever you're in a prison, to keep the population calm for the safety of the officers?
CANALES: One hundred percent. Heat—it's well documented that when the temperatures rise to these levels, people become aggressive. Literally keeping the temperature down keeps the emotional temperature down, and it helps keep our guards safe. It helps keep the climate safe as far as the behavior of the prisoners themselves.
VASUT: So your bill is pro-public safety, pro-police. One hundred percent, right?
CANALES: One hundred percent.
VASUT: It's a good bill. Thank you, Chair, for bringing this bill.

HB 3053 ON THIRD READING
(by Dean, et al.)
HB 3053, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the municipal disannexation of certain areas annexed during a certain period of time.
HB 3053 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE HOWARD: I just want to clarify, because yesterday I did ask you questions during second reading about the exclusion of communities that had originally been included. You indicated that they had not been excluded, but as I look at it right now—I want to clarify—the only community that this bill applies to is the city of Austin. Is that not correct?
REPRESENTATIVE DEAN: It is not correct. Any city of 500,000.
HOWARD: Who else does it apply to?
DEAN: Let's see. We have Fort Worth, San Antonio—Dallas is unaffected by the bill. San Antonio, Fort Worth, and Dallas.
HOWARD: They have military exclusions. Fort Worth, Houston, San Antonio, and El Paso were excluded with that amendment that you have allowed.
DEAN: Ms. Howard, at the request of the U.S. military—we worked with them on amendments—
HOWARD: My understanding is that with the amendment yesterday, in particular from Representative Collier, that that excluded Houston and Fort Worth.
DEAN: At the request of the military, we worked with them on amendments to ensure unique land-use controls required around our largest military bases remain intact to protect all of us.
HOWARD: I understand that must be your reason for doing this, but my question was had they been excluded? And I think you were indicating that they had not been, but yes, indeed they have been. Is that not correct?
DEAN: My understanding is that they're unaffected by the bill.
HOWARD: That they are unaffected, correct. My understanding is that the only city affected by the bill is the city of Austin. Is that not your understanding?
DEAN: That's not my understanding, that's not our intent.
HOWARD: So who else—?
DEAN: Ms. Howard, I'll remind you that, in particular, in the city of Austin, we've tried to address each one of their concerns in the form of an amendment, which I presented to you yesterday as well. Those appeared in our discussion to be acceptable, in particular to the city of Austin. So I'm really a little bit, not really sure—
HOWARD: I can clarify for you, if you'd like. Obviously, the amendment helped mitigate some of the damage to the city of Austin, but it did not eliminate what is being opened up here, which is the disannexation of communities within the city of Austin. That has not been eliminated. This is disannexation of communities in Austin, and it only applies to Austin. The amendment that you did, that we appreciate, indicated that those communities who moved in after annexation had occurred would not be able to claim that they were not aware because they knew when they moved into the property that it was part of Austin. So that's what the amendment was, and we appreciate that.
I just want to clarify for the body. My understanding, and the understanding of others that have read this, is that this only applies to the city of Austin. And the city of Austin delegation is not in support of this other than I think a very small portion of Austin by Representative Troxclair.
DEAN: Ms. Howard, when I accepted the bill, I made it very clear that—as being a former mayor involved in many annexations—I wanted to make sure that it didn't really point out strictly Austin. That's why we put in cities of 500,000 or more because there are other cities that are having some of the same issues. But I appreciate your thoughts.

HB 1000 ON SECOND READING
(by Darby)
HB 1000, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the composition of districts for the election of members of the Texas House of Representatives.
HB 1000 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE DARBY: Listen up, this affects everyone of you on this floor. It has to do with your districts that elected you back home.
You're serving under the current redistricting plan adopted in the 87th Legislature in 2021. During the third called special session of the 87th, the legislature adopted new district maps for the Texas House and Texas Senate, State Board of Education, and congressional districts. The districts adopted under Plan H2316 for the Texas House in 2021 were the districts used in the 2022 elections and remain in effect today. The House Committee on Redistricting of the 87th Legislature put in numerous hours listening to public input and working with members to develop the thoughtful plan, ultimately adopted.
HB 1000 seeks to ensure that the Texas Legislature fulfills our constitutional duty to apportion the state into representative districts at its first regular session after the publication of the 24th Decennial Census of the United States as prescribed and required by Article III, Section 28, of the Texas Constitution. The 88th Legislature is the first regular session after the publication of the 2020 census. Our purpose here today is to ratify the house map passed in 2021. HB 1000 ratifies and adopts HB 1 of the 87th Legislature, Third Called Session, in 2021. That's Plan H2316 in the Texas Legislature's redistricting system, as the districts used to elect members of the Texas House of Representatives. As mentioned previously, the sole purpose of this bill is to certify that the legislature has fulfilled its duty under Article III, Section 28, of the Texas Constitution by ratifying the current maps so that the Legislative Redistricting Board is not required to meet and substitute its judgement for that of this body. I believe we have a few amendments that will be offered.
Amendment No. 1
Representative Davis offered the following amendment to HB 1000:
Plan No. H2245
For the proposed maps and reports associated with this amendment, see House Journal Maps Supplement.
Amend HB 1000 (house committee report) to modify the following districts in the indicated counties as reflected in PLANH2245, which is incorporated by reference:
Districts 5, 6, and 7 in Camp, Gregg, Harrison, Marion, Rains, Smith, Titus, Upshur, and Wood Counties.
AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS: I appreciate Chairman Darby and I having a discussion regarding HB 1000. This is not to embarrass or disrespect any serving member, this is rather an amendment to respect the communities who feel like they don't get to elect the person of their own will. And so this particular amendment deals with an East Texas amendment that was drawn during the regular session, where it recognized the growth and development of communities in East Texas.
The current map ignored the opportunity to create a minority district in East Texas by combining the minority populations in both Gregg and Smith Counties to create a 55.6 percent minority district with a 51 percent voting-age population. This amendment creates a 55.6 percent minority district by combining parts of the city of Tyler and Gregg County. This opportunity was not respected during the previous redistricting plan, so hopefully this amendment to perfect and recognize the growth and development in the East Texas communities. The amendment does split an additional county, Wood County, to balance the population only. The plan does not make any unnecessary pairings of incumbents. The plan split-blocks to keep the small city of Quitman within one district.
Again, members, this is designed to recognize there was growth and development, and there's an opportunity to grow minority districts. As you well know, here in this legislative body, we define districts based on population. This is an instance when this population was ignored, and consequently, a district was not created that should have been created to represent minority districts and allow minorities to elect a candidate of their own.
REPRESENTATIVE DARBY: This amendment was offered in the third called session, and we voted that amendment down. I think this body is deliberative. We had a Redistricting Committee that listened to lots of hours of testimony. We spent a summer together over this issue, and we came up with a good map. That map is before you today for approval and ratification so that the Legislative Redistricting Board does not get to preempt us in enacting our own maps for this body. With that, I'm going to respectfully move that we table this amendment and ask for your support in that regard.
REPRESENTATIVE S. THOMPSON: Would you agree that our Constitution is one of the guarding tools which we utilize in reapportionment?
DARBY: Absolutely.
S. THOMPSON: We followed the Constitution so that we would be able to—every 10 years—to reapportion the state according to the population increase or decrease?
DARBY: Yes.
S. THOMPSON: Would you also agree that the Constitution says that redistricting occurs during a regular session?
DARBY: It must be ratified at the first regular session after the census has been received by the state.
S. THOMPSON: But it talks about reapportionment taken during the regular session, isn't that right?
DARBY: There's no question we enacted our maps during a special session. Our duty today is to simply ratify those maps at the first regular session after the census has been put forth to the legislature.
S. THOMPSON: Thank you. I just want the record reflected that we did not do it in a regular session.
DAVIS: Mr. Speaker and members, I would just say that this is a missed opportunity. During the interim when they did the redistricting, we knew we were able to support the data that the district had grown and this population existed. We missed an opportunity to create a minority district. We all strive to allow each district to represent—to select a representative of their choice. When we don't put these populations together, we undermine the ability of members in those districts to have their choice. So this is an amendment that just says this is an opportunity for Texas to recognize that there's been growth in the African American community. There are opportunities to create more minority districts. And as we all realize, the more of us that are brought to the chamber—diversity is our strength. To ignore population and population growth just doesn't make sense. And so I offer this amendment and ask you to vote yes for this amendment.
REPRESENTATIVE REYNOLDS: Representative Davis, I understand the intent of your bill is to make sure that we are creating, in a majority-minority area, an African American opportunity district. Is that not correct?
DAVIS: That's correct.
REYNOLDS: Okay. And are you aware, that based on the 2020 census, there are more African Americans in Texas than any other state in the country?
DAVIS: I'm aware of that, and I believe this is why this amendment is so critical. It allows us to have representation from a community that has been diluted and not had an opportunity to select the person of their own.
REYNOLDS: And Representative Davis, without this amendment, in the previous redistricting maps that were passed by this body, were there any new African American opportunity districts created?
DAVIS: No, there were not any new opportunity districts created. One of the challenges, I would just add, is that we know the growth has been there and Texas has been cited before for intentionally discriminating as it relates to drawing of lines. This is an opportunity for Texas to do right by the African American community and minority communities in these areas so that they are able to select and elect a person of their own choice.
REYNOLDS: And Representative Davis, are you aware that, based on that 2020 census, that 95 percent of the growth was due to the African American, Hispanic, and Asian population?
DAVIS: Yes, I am.
REYNOLDS: And did the redistricting maps that were passed reflect that population growth?
DAVIS: I believe we fell short in representing the growth in our state of the minority communities. I think we fell short there, and I think there was an opportunity that we could have done more. And I recognize the conflict that redistricting creates, but there should be no conflict for us to want every citizen of this state to be comfortable that they are being fully recognized and supported as a citizen of this state and given its rights to select and elect a person of their choice. To systemically deny them this opportunity for this district is not what we're supposed to be about. We are supposed to be about making sure that people have full representation. And when you don't do that in redistricting, you end up missing opportunities to develop districts for growth of your populations.
REYNOLDS: Absolutely. Are you familiar with the term that's used in redistricting called "packing"?
DAVIS: I am.
REYNOLDS: And is it your belief that the previous map that was adopted by this body, it packed African Americans into certain districts?
DAVIS: I think, Representative Reynolds, we as a state have traditionally not maximized the populations like we should have to grow new districts. I think we have packed and cracked. I think we've done everything to minimize the population of the African American and minority communities in general so that we can't see more growth and more diversity in our state.
REYNOLDS: And your amendment attempts to correct the packing and cracking of the African Americans that was previously passed. Is that correct?
DAVIS: That's correct. My amendment is simply wanting to say let's maximize the growth of population in Texas. That was where the growth—we had an opportunity to draw a district that we didn't. This gives us one more shot at recognizing the communities that have been ignored and disrespected by not drawing a district for them.
REYNOLDS: And is it my understanding from looking at your amendment—your amendment brings together communities of interest. Isn't that correct?
DAVIS: That's correct.
REYNOLDS: The map that was previously adopted, it actually cracked and packed those communities of interest so they couldn't elect a candidate of their choice. Is that correct?
DAVIS: That's correct. That is my belief. By doing our redistricting map and drawing it the way we did, we did not maximize and acknowledge the growth of the community and the opportunity to elect someone of diversity.
REYNOLDS: Well, Representative Davis, I think you have a great amendment. I think that the intent of your amendment is there so that the communities of interest in this particular community can elect a candidate of their choice, within the confines of the law, to be able to support a African American opportunity district. I fully support this amendment. Thank you for bringing it.

Amendment No. 2
Representative Davis offered the following amendment to HB 1000:
Plan No. H2216
For the proposed maps and reports associated with this amendment, see House Journal Maps Supplement.
Amend HB 1000 (house committee report) to modify the following districts in the indicated county as reflected in PLANH2216, which is incorporated by reference:
Districts 54 and 55 in Bell County.
AMENDMENT NO. 2 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE DAVIS: This is a similar amendment and another missed opportunity. This is an amendment—the Bell County amendment—that would take the current map and split the minority population in Killeen between two districts where the elected officials are all minorities except one, but the state house is represented by a republican member. This can be resolved by creating an opportunity district, including cities of Killeen and Harker Heights as a core of the district. This amendment retains both House District 54 and House District 55 within Bell County, while keeping the city of Killeen within one district, House District 54. Again, House District 54 has a non-Anglo population of 72 percent, and a voting age population of 68.5 percent minority population.
This is an opportunity, again, for us as a state to recognize the growth and development of this state.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
Representative Canales moved to print all remarks on HB 1000.
The motion prevailed.
REPRESENTATIVE REYNOLDS: Representative Davis, are you aware that House District 54 is a doughnut shape that completely encloses House District 55, together making up all of Bell County?
DAVIS: Yes, I am.
REYNOLDS: Would you agree with me that this is a highly unconventional doughnut hole configuration in this new redistricting? Previously, HD 54 covered the western part of Bell County and all of neighboring Lampasas County. Are you aware of that?
DAVIS: I am aware of that, and in fact, Representative Reynolds, I will tell you that this has been an annoying, ongoing issue as it relates to redistricting because this is obviously a very deliberately drawn district. By splitting up the entire African American community in Killeen—it makes no sense, other than the intent is to deny this district from being whole. And at some point the state has got to take responsibility and recognize that they need to protect the rights of all citizens to be fairly represented. That is the challenge here. While I understand we have a plan, I think the plan misses opportunities to maximize what we can do as a community and as minority communities. It undermines our ability to respect those citizens because we are deliberately drawing them out of a district that they would duly be able to control just with the sheer growth and the way it was drawn. So again, it appears to be very deliberate and this offers them an opportunity.
The State of Texas has got to recognize that the minority community needs to be respected as well as we move into these kinds of issues because the growth is here. You can't continue to work around that. You've got to work with it and accept it and draw a district that allows citizens to select people that they want to represent them. When an entire city council is a minority council, and they can't elect somebody that shares their political philosophy, they're not electing somebody of their own choice.
REYNOLDS: Representative Davis, would you agree with me that this was a classic case of cracking? They were able to intentionally crack the African American population within this particular community?
DAVIS: I think so. The average voting age in this district—population of 49,000 people, which equates to 37 percent of the voting population is African American, and it's not being represented with regard to its ability to elect people. When you put the population together, it is a minority opportunity district. The voting age of Hispanics is 24.2 percent. So at this point, we realized that the state has deliberately not drawn a district that could be drawn as a minority opportunity district. And also, because you split a city, the interests were broken because you split a city to do this. This amendment just simply says let's put that community back together. Let's allow folks to recognize the growth of populations in Texas. Let's create districts that represent that growth. That's what this amendment does.
REYNOLDS: Right. Representative Davis, you pointed something out. As I look at this, without this amendment, they needlessly split the largest city in the county at a population of 153,095, which is Killeen. Is that correct?
DAVIS: That's correct.
REYNOLDS: And they could quite reasonably have been the anchor of a house district as your amendment does, correct?
DAVIS: On its own, that number should have been a base for a district on its own because of the tremendous amount of population there.
REYNOLDS: In other words, when they did that, they diluted the voting strength of the African American population, is that not correct?
DAVIS: That's correct. It was diluted and placed in two districts so that it would not be able to realize its full strength.
REYNOLDS: Correct. In other words, when they did that, they effectively broke up those communities of interest and put them in two different districts so that they could not elect a candidate of their choice?
DAVIS: That's correct.
REYNOLDS: And despite the fact that they had a majority African American city council, they could not elect an African American state representative, is that correct?
DAVIS: That's correct. And again, representative government says that we draw districts so that people can elect representatives that reflect their interests. What we've done diluted that so that it doesn't perform that way. It is diluted by virtue of us splitting it up. Not because of something they did—it's something we're not acknowledging and accepting as a growth pattern that should have been put together to maintain a community of interest.
REYNOLDS: Representative Davis, we talked about this before, but based on the large African American population in the state, and the fact that we drew no new African American opportunity districts, your amendment is precisely one that we should have drawn. Is that not correct?
DAVIS: That's correct. I thought that we should have acknowledged and recognized the growth of communities and districts. The state plan should include that growth as part of what you get as an end result. We didn't get that. It's a missed opportunity because we didn't do it. This is ignoring the growth of population.
REYNOLDS: And is it your belief that without your amendment that this previously configured district that diluted the African American vote is an intentional violation of the Voting Rights Act?
DAVIS: That's correct. That is my thought. It's very clear that we should have drawn a district that kept communities of interest together and it's very clear that there has been a growth of population. The only thing is we didn't act on it—we ignored it. And I think that's the challenge for us here in this body today, recognizing that we ignored it. Are we willing to continue to ignore it, or do we take this opportunity to make a change?
REYNOLDS: Representative Davis, you mentioned previously that the courts have found Texas in clear violation of intentionally discriminating, correct? Against communities of color?
DAVIS: That's correct. There have been court rulings that have said that we, as a state, have intentionally discriminated. This is another example of where we're doing it. Whether we acknowledge it for what it is or not, that's what this is. We're not allowing that to happen, naturally.
REYNOLDS: And your amendment seeks to remedy that by putting those coalitions together––those communities of interest back together in Bell County so that they can elect a candidate of their choice. Is that correct?
DAVIS: That's correct.
REPRESENTATIVE DARBY: Members, just to be clear, this amendment is not acceptable to the author. I'm asking for your support as we vote this amendment down.
DAVIS: I would just say to you, as a member of this body and as an entity that's about to approve of a plan that was put in place, you need to accept the responsibility. We didn't do our best job. This amendment allows us to fix some things that we know we didn't do. We know it's wrong to not do it. We know the population is there and we are going to codify––or recodify––a bill that we know is not the best product for Texas. It might be the best product for people individually, but this is not an individual. This is about all the citizens of Texas, not about your individual interests. So I would just ask you to think about it. And I know—I count well—what's going to happen, but I don't want you to leave thinking you didn't have the opportunity to do right today and you chose wrong.

HB 100 - STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT
REPRESENTATIVE MARTINEZ FISCHER: Chairman King, let me thank you again. I know you worked hard on this, and I appreciate you working with us on some of the amendments you adopted. You and I had a conversation about the increased basic allotment and the reference in the bill––about 50 percent of that money would go towards salaries. Do you recall that conversation?
REPRESENTATIVE K. KING: Yes, it was 50 percent of the new money is what the bill calls for.
MARTINEZ FISCHER: Yes, sir, and for the purpose of legislative intent, I just want to clarify that. It will allay some confusion that we talked about. With regard to that 50 percent, we are talking about new money and the basic allotment. Is that correct?
K. KING: That is right.
MARTINEZ FISCHER: We're not talking about new money as it relates to—we just talked about a school safety allotment—we are not talking about that?
K. KING: No, we are not. This is just money in the basic allotment.
MARTINEZ FISCHER: And likewise, we are not talking about local revenue like the six golden pennies, that will not apply in this instance either?
K. KING: That is correct.
MARTINEZ FISCHER: And to the extent that there is any additional revenue—let's take it from the Buckley and Creighton proposals as it relates to instructional materials. It's not your intent for 50 percent of those funds, if any, to apply to those salaries. Is that also correct?
K. KING: That is correct.
MARTINEZ FISCHER: With regard to any other proposal out there that may bring in additional revenue to schools that is not in the basic allotment, it is not your intent that 50 percent of those dollars be applied to salaries, right?
K. KING: That is correct.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
Representative Martinez Fischer moved to print remarks between Representative K. King and Representative Martinez Fischer on CSHB 100.
The motion prevailed.
CSHB 100, as amended, was passed to engrossment.

CSHJR 132 ON SECOND READING
(by Hefner, Meyer, Vasut, Burrows, and Raymond)
CSHJR 132, A joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment prohibiting the legislature from imposing a tax on the net worth of individuals or businesses.
CSHJR 132 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Bryant raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHJR 132 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. Bryant raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHJR 132 under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the substitute is not germane.
As introduced, the joint resolution applied only to individuals and families. The substitute alters this and applies only to individuals and business entities.
Business entities are of a different character than individuals and families and are not of the same type of persons covered by the original class. Thus, the substitute impermissibly enlarges the original class and is not germane. E.g., 88 H. Jour. 1523 (2023); 87 H. Jour. 2d C.S. 230 (2021).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
Pursuant to Rule 4, Section 41, CSHJR 132 is returned to the Committee on Calendars.
CSHJR 132 was returned to the Committee on Calendars.

CSHB 1239 ON SECOND READING
(by Oliverson, Paul, C.J. Harris, et al.)
CSHB 1239, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to consideration by insurers of certain prohibited criteria for ratemaking and coverage decisions and the use of disparate impact analysis regarding certain insurance practices.
CSHB 1239 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Bryant raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 1239 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. Bryant raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 1239 under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the substitute is not germane.
As introduced, the bill applied only to prohibiting insurers from using certain criteria "establishing rates[.]" The six-page substitute significantly expands the original two-page bill by including, among other things, prohibiting the Department of Insurance from requiring insurers to engage in a disparate impact analysis in connection with insurance rates, underwriting, or practices and prohibiting insurers from refusing to deal with companies under a number of circumstances.
The Chair has previously held similarly egregious additions as not germane. E.g., 87 H. Jour. 3882 (2021). Because the substitute's additions constitute subjects different from those embraced in the original bill, it is not germane.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
Pursuant to Rule 4, Section 41, CSHB 1239 is returned to the Committee on Calendars.
CSHB 1239 was returned to the Committee on Calendars.
