The following resolution was laid before the house:

HR 945, In memory of Pope Francis.

Representative Anchía addressed the house, speaking as follows:

It is with deep, deep reverence that I present this resolution honoring the life and the legacy of Pope Francis. People across the world will come together to grieve his passing at his funeral, which will be this Saturday at St. Peter's Basilica. I'm so pleased to be joined by not only devout Catholics on this house floor but also people from all faith traditions, which is a way that the pope, I think, would want to be remembered.

Pope Francis was a transformational leader. He was a shepherd who guided not just the faithful but people of all backgrounds through his message of love and humility and mercy. He was born Jorge Mario Bergoglio in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and he entered the priesthood in 1969. He became not only the first Latin American pope but the first Jesuit. And for those of you who know, I am also Basque. The Jesuit order was founded in the Basque country, so we're extremely proud of this Jesuit pope. And it marked a historic moment for all of the Americas.

Something I always admired about Pope Francis is that he modeled his papacy after St. Francis of Assisi. He not only asked us to be right with that "vertical Jesus" that oftentimes we pray directly to above, but he asked us to do the harder work of being right with the "horizontal Jesus"—the Jesus that is in all of us. Because when we pray just directly, oftentimes we hear what we want to hear. But it is truly in this hard work—the hard work that the pope did, asking us to be right with the "horizontal Jesus"—that interaction among and honoring of that which is good and right and just and love in all of us. Pope Francis never sought power or prestige or pageantry. Instead, he redefined what leadership could look like in the modern world—one rooted in compassion, in lifting up the poor, healing division, and building unity across all nations.

And his legacy is not just in what he did but how he did it—perfecting the teachings of our Lord and savior, Jesus Christ. With his recent passing, we also recognize the important role that Texas now plays in the Catholic Church globally. Cardinal Kevin Farrell, who many of you from North Texas will remember as former bishop of Dallas, was appointed by Pope Francis himself and is the current camerlengo. He not only certified the pope's death, but he is now serving as the head of the Vatican until a new pontiff is elected. And also Cardinal Daniel DiNardo, who is the archbishop of Galveston-Houston, and he's going to be voting in the upcoming election of the new pontiff as well. So we're immensely proud of these two Catholic faith leaders with deep ties to Texas.

I also want to thank the Texas Catholic Conference of Bishops. For those in the gallery, I ask you to please stand and be recognized. I know that you're here. Hi, Jennifer, welcome. As a Catholic, I can personally say that the pope's teachings centered in mercy, peace, and the dignity of every human being have touched my life and the lives of so many of my devout colleagues here on the house floor. So I ask, members, that you please join me in prayer to close.

Dear heavenly Father, we don't deserve your goodness. Yet, every day you pour your blessings into our lives. Today, we lift up all those mourning the death of Pope Francis. We grant them peace in their sorrow and hope in their faith. We pray for wisdom and unity for those tasked with selecting the next leader of the Catholic Church. And as we go about our days, I ask that you soften our hearts and help us see others through your eyes. May we act with kindness, courage, and compassion, just as Pope Francis did. Let us, too, be instruments of peace and hope in the world. In your name we pray. Amen.

HB 2216, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to procedures and grounds related to the removal and placement of children, including for terminating the parent-child relationship, for taking possession of a child, and for certain hearings in a suit affecting the parent-child relationship filed by a governmental entity.

REPRESENTATIVE HULL: Members, this bill brings the gold standard to all Texas families involved in our CPS system.

REPRESENTATIVE HOWARD: I'm sorry. I looked for you ahead of time to talk to you about a few things, and I didn't see you. So I'm going to ask a couple of questions, if I may, please. And I think the bill is great. I support the bill, and I definitely appreciate your efforts here. My concern has to do with the lack of funding to support the services that are required to support these families. Because we want these families to stay together, right?

HULL: Yes, we do. And our amendment yesterday helps to clarify that. So it is within the department—whatever their means are. No matter how much money it is that they have, it is active efforts within their means.

HOWARD: And I appreciate that. What I'm trying to figure out here is "active efforts within their means"—which includes helping parents access housing, treatment, and services—when the fiscal note does not fund any of these supports. What happens when those services simply do not exist in the community, especially within CPS's short investigation timeline?

HULL: So again, we, one, extended the runway, so they have until January 1st of 2027. And it is all within their means. So they can just show to the court—again, it's active efforts with what they're capable of doing. If they're not capable of providing something, then they are not dinged for that.

HOWARD: How do you envision DFPS meeting the heightened obligations of HB 2216—such as providing and documenting active efforts, coordinating family meetings, and supporting indigent representation within existing resources—when even the scaled-down fiscal note acknowledges the need for hundreds of new FTEs and millions in additional dollars to be spent?

HULL: Yeah, so I think that goes back to, again, extending the runway. And because ICWA already exists, there is already a handbook on all of this. It is already all laid out for them.

HOWARD: If DFPS is unable to meet the burden of proving active efforts, children may be placed in permanent managing conservatorships rather than being reunified or adopted. Wouldn't this, in the long run, increase the number of children in foster care and drive up state costs, contrary to the amendment's goal of limiting spending?

HULL: No, it would not. There are a lot of options that they have at their disposal, including PCSPs. Depending on the situation, they can do kick-out orders. There are a lot of different options that they have at their disposal to prevent all of that, and then they can show that they made those active efforts, and they would have all of the evidence there.

HOWARD: What is the expectation for counties already in crisis due to attorney shortages? Should counties absorb the costs of more hearings and more appointments with no additional help?

HULL: Most counties are already doing this. So for most of them, it should not be an issue.

HOWARD: I believe there was a request for significant additional funding that was not provided in our appropriations, so I think there is some concern that some counties have about that. Have you or your team modeled the long-term fiscal impact of implementing HB 2216 without service investments? Specifically how much more the state might spend over time on extended foster care placements, litigation, or unmanaged caseloads.

HULL: Well, there's several things: One, I don't believe that this will mean more children in foster care. This is the best possible option to keep children at home when it is safe, and there will be removals when it is necessary. So I don't believe that we will have those outcomes.

HOWARD: Do you see a path forward to couple these reforms with an appropriation or implementation plan—either this session or in a supplemental—to avoid burdening DFPS and counties beyond their breaking point?

HULL: Yes, so again, that's why we extended the runway—to give them the time to see how all of this will be implemented. We know that across the state, all of these regions—with CBC, we already know, and those providers know, where the shortages are. And so we are expecting—again, with this extended runway—to be able to have a better idea of what DFPS needs. And they can come back next session and, hopefully, get more money. But, again, that's why we clarified in the bill with the amendment yesterday that it is all within their means—no matter what is appropriated. We are not expecting them to do things that are not feasible or possible for them.

HOWARD: Thank you, Chair Hull. One last question. This bill was written to make the system fairer and safer for families, which it does, and I really appreciate your efforts here. But if the state refuses to fund the services or staffing required, is there a risk that this reform becomes a costly procedural layer that increases complexity, delays permanency, and inflates the foster care population instead of reducing it?

HULL: No, I do not believe so at all. Again, it is all within their means, and raising these standards will help families—all families—in Texas.

HOWARD: I very much appreciate you efforts, and I'll be supporting your bill.

Representative Howard moved to print remarks between Representative Hull and Representative Howard on HB 2216.

The motion prevailed.

REPRESENTATIVE FRANK: I just want to follow up on a couple of things that Representative Howard was bringing up in terms of money that the counties might need and that the agency might need. So over the last four years, have the number of kids in foster care gone up or down?

HULL: Down.

FRANK: By about 40 percent?

HULL: Yes.

FRANK: So the number of kids in foster care has gone down by 40 percent, but the budget of the Department of Family and Protective Services has not gone down, right?

HULL: Correct.

FRANK: And so the number of people there that can be redeployed—and I realize that takes a while, to redeploy, and our caseloads have gotten a lot better. But they should be able to provide some of, if not all of, the services with existing staff if the number of kids has gone down 40 percent. Would you agree with that?

HULL: I do agree, yes.

FRANK: They're doing great work, and we've made some major changes. And that agency is doing a great job right now, and so I'm not—but we have made changes. And the same thing with the counties. The counties have had about a 40 percent reduction in number of cases as well. And so should they have some available funds to handle this without us sending them more funds?

HULL: Yes, they should.

HB 796, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the Texas Sovereignty Act.

Representative Bryant raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 796 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules.

(Speaker in the chair)

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 HB 796 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), on the grounds that the caption of the bill fails to give reasonable notice of its subject.

The bill establishes a new joint legislative committee with powers that are not merely advisory, including the ability to submit determinations of unconstitutional federal actions that must be voted on by each house. The definition of "unconstitutional federal action" is not limited solely to those actions impinging on state sovereignty. The legal effect of the committee's validly approved determination is also not limited solely to such actions. While a caption is not required to detail every element of a bill (78 H. Jour. 1676 (2003)), the bill's short title does not accurately describe the activities authorized by the bill, and thus it does not comply with the rule. See 86 H. Jour. 1818 (2019).

Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained, and the bill is returned to the Committee on State Affairs for further action. 74 H. Jour. 2185-2186 (1995).

HB 796 was returned to the Committee on State Affairs.

The following members were granted leaves of absence temporarily for today to attend a meeting of the Committee on State Affairs:

Anchía on motion of Harris.

Darby on motion of Harris.

Y. Davis on motion of Harris.

CSHB 2249, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the establishment of the Texas Teacher Recruitment Scholarship Program.

Representative Olcott offered the following amendment to CSHB 2249:

Amend CSHB 2249 (house committee report) on page 2, line 6, between "must" and the underlined colon, by inserting "be a citizen of the United States and must".

Representative Walle 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. Walle raises a point of order against further consideration of the Olcott Amendment No. 1 under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.

The amendment would require students to be a citizen of the United States in order to receive an initial scholarship under the program created by the bill. The amendment's proponents were unable to show that the restriction was related to the purpose of the bill or was of the same type or class as the conditions proposed by the bill, which are related solely to academic fitness and ability. Thus, it is not germane. See 88 H. Jour. 1522-1523 (2023) and 88 H. Jour. 2872 (2023).

Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 1.

Representative Money offered the following amendment to CSHB 2249:

Amend CSHB 2249 (house committee report) on page 2, line 8, between "state" and the underlined semicolon, by inserting "that does not require a student to receive any vaccination, other than a vaccination required under Section 51.5192, as a condition of the student's enrollment in the institution".

Representative Walle raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 2 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.Walle raises a point of order against further consideration of the Money Amendment (Amendment No. 2) under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane to the bill.

The Money amendment places a restriction on the condition of enrollment in institutions of higher education. The amendment's proponents were unable to show that the restriction was related to the purpose of the bill or was of the same type or class as the conditions proposed by the bill, which are related solely to the student's academic fitness and ability. The amendment is of a different type or class as the conditions proposed by the bill, and is therefore not germane. See, e.g., 89 H. Jour. ____ (2025) (ruling on Olcott Amendment).

Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 2.

Representatives Schatzline and Toth offered the following amendment to CSHB 2249:

Amend CSHB 2249 (house committee report) on page 2, lines 19-21, by striking "maintain satisfactory academic progress as determined by the institution at which the student is enrolled" and substituting ", as determined by the institution at which the student is enrolled, maintain satisfactory academic progress and refrain from participating in an antisemitic protest while enrolled at any public or private institution of higher education in this state. For purposes of this subsection, an antisemitic protest is any protest that promotes hostility or violence against Jewish persons".

Representative Zwiener raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 3 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules.

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

Ms. Zwiener raises a point of order against further consideration of the Schatzline Amendment (Amendment No. 3) under Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the amendment is not germane.

The amendment would require students to "refrain from participating in an antisemitic protest" in order to continue to receive a scholarship awarded under the program created by the bill. The amendment's proponents were unable to show that the restriction was related to the purpose of the bill or was of the same type or class as the conditions proposed by the bill, which are related solely to academic fitness and ability. Thus, it is not germane. See, e.g., 89 H. Jour. ____ (2025) (ruling on Olcott Amendment).

Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.

The ruling precluded further consideration of Amendment No. 3.

Representative Cain offered the following amendment to CSHB 2249:

HB 2001, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to increasing the criminal penalties for insider trading and other misuse of official information.

Representative Little raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 2001 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules.

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

Mr. Little raises a point of order against further consideration of HB 2001 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), on the grounds that the caption of the bill fails to give reasonable notice of the subject of the proposed measure.

The caption uses the term "insider trading" to refer to misuses of official information that result in a financial gain to the public servant. That term, however, is not used in the body of the bill or, indeed, in the Penal Code in reference to the prohibited activity causing the gain. The reader must therefore rely on the colloquial meaning of the term, which is misleading to the legislature and the public regarding the subject of the bill. See 80 H. Jour. 2433 (2007).

Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained, and the bill is returned to the Committee on State Affairs for further action. 74 H. Jour. 2185-2186 (1995).

HB 2001 was returned to the Committee on State Affairs.

A message from the senate was received at this time (see the addendum to the daily journal, Messages from the Senate, Message No. 2).

HB 2798, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to disclosures and other requirements concerning virtual currency kiosk transactions; authorizing a fee.
