Leach
REPRESENTATIVE LEACH: Members, these bills have been prepared by the Texas Legislative Council pursuant to its legislative mandate to continually revise the statutory law of this state. Each bill is a non-substantive revision of Texas law, and the substance of the law has not been altered.
The sole purpose of these revisions is to compile the relevant law, arrange it in a logical fashion, and rewrite it without altering its meaning or legal effect.
By ordering these bills not printed, this means that you will not have the text of the bill in front of you when you vote. This indicates the house's judgment that our legislative council completed this revision in compliance with the mandate that we have given them, that the bill's changes to the law are in fact non-substantive, and there is no need to consult text that is not changing the law during floor consideration of these bills.
The motion in writing was read and prevailed by (Record 712): 114 Yeas, 28 Nays, 2 Present, not voting.

HR 431 - PREVIOUSLY ADOPTED
(by Walle)
The chair laid out the following previously adopted resolution:
HR 431, In memory of Deputy Fernando Esqueda of the Harris County Sheriff's Office.
INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS
The chair recognized Representative Walle who introduced family members of Deputy Fernando Esqueda, speaking as follows:
Members, I want you to please help me in remembering and honoring a very proud young man, Deputy Fernando Esqueda. I'm going to repeat: Deputy Fernando Esqueda. Deputy Fernando Esqueda of the Harris County Sheriff's Office was murdered in the line of duty on July the 11th, 2024, at the very young age of 28. Deputy Esqueda dedicated his life to public service from a young age, joining the Texas Department of Criminal Justice—members, a body that we represent—the Texas Department of Criminal Justice at only 18 years old. He was also a graduate, in the East End, of Austin High School. He later rose through the ranks of Harris County law enforcement. His commitment to protecting and serving the community exemplified the highest standards of duty and honor.
Members, beyond his professional achievements, Deputy Esqueda was a devoted family member and a beloved fiancé. He enriched the lives of his eight nieces and nephews and enjoyed hunting, fishing, singing, and dancing. Remembering and honoring Deputy Esqueda ensures that his commitment—members, Mr. Speaker, those in the audience, and those watching—his commitment, his courage, and his sacrifice are not forgotten. It also reinforces the values that he stood for—service, honor, family, and community—inspiring generations of future public servants. Because he paid the ultimate sacrifice when he was gunned down, savagely gunned down, by the perpetrator in this act of violence—heinous violence. By passing this previously adopted resolution, we send a strong message of solidarity and compassion to the families of fallen officers throughout this state, affirming that their loved ones' sacrifices will always be remembered and valued by the people of Texas.
Members, I want you to go by on the dais and welcome the family of Deputy Fernando Esqueda, a proud young man. I had the opportunity to meet him. He was a sheriff's deputy that patrolled my part of Houston in the East Aldine Management District area. But I want to recognize several people on the dais: his father, Jose Leonardo Esqueda; his brother Pedro Esqueda; his sister—also in law enforcement, newly minted, not detective—Sergeant Vanessa Esqueda; and finally, another young man—proud young man—Eric Delacruz, a Harris County detention officer and his brother. I also want to recognize, in the gallery, the VIPER unit—in the gallery if they would like to stand also—with the proud Harris County Sheriff's Office. I want to give them a round of applause.
Members, may God, Jesus Christ, keep them—our fallen officers but particularly Deputy Fernando Esqueda—in your grace and comfort. We ask God to wrap his arms around this family and all families of fallen officers. We just want to tell them that we love them; we're never going to forget them. And God bless them. Thank you.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS CALENDAR
HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTIONS
THIRD READING
The following resolutions were laid before the house and read third time:
HJR 5 ON THIRD READING
(by Lambert, Wilson, Curry, Harris Davila, Spiller, et al.)
HJR 5, A joint resolution proposing a constitutional amendment providing for the creation of funds to support the capital needs of educational programs offered by the Texas State Technical College System and removing that system and its campuses from the annual appropriation of certain constitutionally dedicated funding for public institutions of higher education.
HJR 5 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE LAMBERT: Members, this is the bill I laid out yesterday. It creates a permanent endowment fund for the Texas State Technical College System. This endowment, a one-time investment, will be a major step in TSTC securing the capital funds needed to claim their long-term growth, allow them to expand capacity, and strengthen the talent pipeline across the state. Members, TSTC is one of the great success stories in our state. Their efficiency and responsiveness to market demands make them worthy of our investment.
REPRESENTATIVE Y. DAVIS: Thank you, Chairman Lambert. I appreciate you laying out this bill. I just want to ask you a few questions about the process. So HJR 5—when was this bill put on the calendar? When did it go through the committee?
LAMBERT: I'm not advised on the specific date, Ms. Davis, but I think it was fairly early in the session.
Y. DAVIS: And so would you say that you put this on the calendar—got it on the calendar fairly early—because of what?
LAMBERT: Because of the importance of the bill.
Y. DAVIS: Okay. And so the chairman—which committee did this come through?
LAMBERT: This came through the Higher Education Committee.
Y. DAVIS: And so the chairman set your bill based on your wanting to represent TSTC and the constituents. Is that correct?
LAMBERT: Yes, ma'am. That's correct.
Y. DAVIS: Do you think other members in this body ought to enjoy that same liberty—to have their legislation brought forward in a timely manner?
LAMBERT: Yes, ma'am. If those bills are good policy, I do recommend that.
Y. DAVIS: And so, Mr. Chairman, we had a bill for District 111. It seems that you had a problem with it. Is it because it didn't do something yours is doing—other than representing this district?
LAMBERT: Ms. Davis, I'm focused on the bill that talks about workforce education.
Y. DAVIS: And that's what this bill was talking about too—is educating community interest. And so I just want to understand. And I'm not going to hurt this bill because I know the value of TSTC. But you need to understand the value of all of us having the ability to get our legislation set in a timely manner. That's the question that I'm raising. Do you think that we deserve that same respect?
LAMBERT: Yes, ma'am, I do.
Y. DAVIS: And in the future, would you try to endeavor to respect us the way you're asking us to respect your legislation?
LAMBERT: Yes, ma'am. On bills that make good policy, I certainly respect that.
Y. DAVIS: And are you the only one to determine what good policy is?
LAMBERT: It's my understanding that's what a chairman's responsibility is.
Y. DAVIS: Okay. No, no, no, no. Are you individually—is it the committee or is it the chairman? Aren't you obligated to allow us to set ours forward? Otherwise, we wouldn't need a committee; is that correct?
LAMBERT: Representative Davis, if those bills do make good policy, then yes.
Y. DAVIS: And so the question is: Do you think you're the only one who is intelligent enough to determine what good policy is?
LAMBERT: No, I think it deserves discussion among other members of the committee as well as other stakeholders.
Y. DAVIS: And in doing so, do we get to do that without the chairman setting the bill for a hearing in a timely manner?
LAMBERT: I think the chairman has that responsibility—to look at the bills that are being referred to his committee or her committee and make priority decisions about which bills should move forward.
Y. DAVIS: Do you think you ought to tell a member that if you don't know if it can get through the senate, that you don't set it in the house? So this bill that's set here, do we know if it's going to pass the senate?
LAMBERT: I do not know at this time if it's going to pass the senate.
Y. DAVIS: So that would not be a precursor to determine whether or not bills should be heard—whether or not we know if it's going to be heard—if it's going to get through the senate?
LAMBERT: I think there are a lot of things to consider when looking at bills referred to your committee.
HJR 5 was adopted by (Record 713): 129 Yeas, 15 Nays, 2 Present, not voting.

STATEMENT OF VOTE
When Record No. 713 was taken, I was in the house but away from my desk. I would have voted yes.
Virdell
REASON FOR VOTE
Representative Harrison submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:
I full support TSTC, and I proudly filed and passed the bill last session to allow it to expand in Ellis County. I also support the concept of increasing TSTC's funding this session, although I wish we were doing it by offsetting cuts somewhere else. However, I voted present, not voting on HJR 5 because instead of just authorizing an appropriation of funds, we are creating another constitutionally dedicated fund which allows multiple things to happen. First, it is more "off the books accounting" because constitutional funds are ironically not subject to the constitutional spending limit. Second, it authorizes greater expenditures in future years without legislative approval.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
Representative Money moved to print remarks between Representative Y. Davis and Representative Lambert on HJR 5.
The motion prevailed.

SB 326 ON SECOND READING
(Capriglione, McQueeney, Metcalf, and Raymond - House Sponsors)
SB 326, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the procedure for determining whether a student's violation of a public school's or public institution of higher education's student code of conduct was motivated by antisemitism.
SB 326 was considered in lieu of HB 2391.
SB 326 was read second time.
SB 326 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE CAPRIGLIONE: I'm here today to speak to you about SB 326, a bill that I believe speaks not just to the moment we find ourselves in but to a much older, deeper tradition of standing up against hatred, of refusing to let ignorance masquerade as free expression, and ensuring that our educational institutions are places of learning, not breeding grounds for bigotry. Now let me be abundantly clear: Antisemitism has no place in the State of Texas—not in our schools, not on our university campuses, not in our communities, and not in our homes. And yet we are seeing it. We are seeing it rear its ugly head across the country, and, no, it's not hiding anymore behind cryptic dog whistles or academic euphemisms. It's out in the open. Swastikas drawn in dorm hallways. Jewish students singled out and shouted down. Social media memes that might as well have been cut and pasted from 1930s propaganda leaflets.
Some may say, "Well, we already have policies. We already address harassment." Yes, we do. But do these policies account for the why behind the behavior? Because hate just doesn't manifest in what's done, it's in the motive. And right now, Texas lacks a standardized, uniform procedure for determining whether students' misconduct was motivated by antisemitism. Now, let me remind you and let you know that this bill does not change the rules about what constitutes a conduct violation. It does not add new penalties. It simply says if antisemitism was a factor, we ought to acknowledge it. Now, that shouldn't be controversial. That's common sense and moral clarity.
So what does the bill do? Here are the nuts and bolts: It amends the Texas Education Code to add specific references to antisemitic motivations and student misconduct and investigations. It adopts a clear government-defined standard using the government's code section—already in Government Code 448.001—for what antisemitism is. This is a well-established, internationally accepted definition. It mandates that administrators and disciplinary committees assess whether antisemitism was a motivating factor in the student's conduct. What this bill does not do: It does not limit or penalize political speech. Students are not going to be punished for voicing their views on Middle East policy or debating the history of Zionism. That is well within their rights. But a university shall be a place where tough conversations happen, and it should challenge us. What this bill does do is it draws a line—a line that any decent society should be willing to draw—between political discourse and targeted antisemitic harassment.
So I just want to talk a moment about the definition of antisemitism that we use in this bill. SB 326 adopts the standard established in Texas Government Code, Section 448.001, which is based on the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance working definition. This definition is recognized by over 40 countries, including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the European Union. It's been adopted by hundreds of institutions, from universities to law enforcement agencies. It's been endorsed by both republican and democratic administrations and by a wide swath of Jewish organizations. The definition is simple: It states that antisemitism is a certain perception of Jews, which may be expressed as hatred toward Jews.
REPRESENTATIVE BRYANT: Mr. Capriglione, what are the religions and ethnic groups that are now included in the current law that defines bullying?
CAPRIGLIONE: Defines bullying? My bill doesn't deal with the current statute on bullying. What it is doing is talking about the definition that should be used in public schools, open-enrollment schools, any universities. And for point of reference, I believe most public universities here in the State of Texas are using that definition of antisemitism. And again, that definition of antisemitism—
BRYANT: I'm compelled to ask you what ethnic groups and religions are included in the existing bullying statute?
CAPRIGLIONE: This is not about bullying, so I don't know what's in a statute that I'm not referencing.
BRYANT: I understand. I didn't know either until I went and checked.
CAPRIGLIONE: Okay.
BRYANT: But the reason for the question is that the current bullying statute doesn't reference any ethnic group or any religion. And you would be adding for the first time one of our many religions that we have in our state and/or one of our many ethnic groups with your statute. So I will ask you, if your amendment is offered and one group is put into the definition—
CAPRIGLIONE: No, that's not accurate. So what this is doing is it's affecting—let's say for instance, in higher institutions, they currently have a code of conduct, and they have policies. And in that code of conduct and policies, while they may talk about bullying and harassment and cheating and other disciplinary actions, there are sections in every code of conduct that every public university has in the State of Texas that talk about things in terms of what is considered discrimination. And in those, they do, in fact, talk about race and gender and ageism and genetics and disabilities. So there's a wide variety of already accepted definitions inside of universities', for instance, codes of conduct. So I disagree with what you said.
BRYANT: Mr. Capriglione, we're talking about SB 326 at the present time, are we not?
CAPRIGLIONE: We are. And not the bullying statute, yes.
BRYANT: And what does it amend?
CAPRIGLIONE: Well, what this amends is it adds context and definitions to how—in K-12 and in universities of higher education, how this definition should be applied in the code of conduct. And specifically what it's—
BRYANT: What it amends, Mr. Capriglione, is Section 37.0095 of the Education Code, which is the anti-bullying statute. Is that correct?
CAPRIGLIONE: It talks about ways on how to modify the current code of conduct, whether it's bullying, harassment, or other actions. What this bill does is it says that actions that have already been committed, obviously, those are already subject to discipline. But what this bill does is it provides context in, for instance, not what happened but why things happened. And it does matter in terms of why someone might either threaten someone, harass someone.
BRYANT: I'm asking a very precise question. And the answer to that question, which will be part of another question, is that your bill amends the bullying statute—
CAPRIGLIONE: It doesn't—
BRYANT: If I may finish my question. Your bill amends the existing bullying statute and, for the first time, inserts one group into the bullying statute and not any others. So under your amendment, one group would be defined for bullying, but a bullying based upon pursuit and bad treatment of another group would not be included in that statute for the guidance of our school personnel. That is correct, is it not?
CAPRIGLIONE: Right now, if a student is harassed for being Jewish, there's no guarantee that the institution will recognize that as antisemitism, especially if it's veiled in political rhetoric or historical stereotypes. What this bill does is it provides parity, not favoritism, and ensures that antisemitic bias is identified and addressed just like racial, gender, or religious bias already is in similar situations.
BRYANT: Mr. Capriglione, there's not anybody in this house of 150 members here who doesn't agree with the words you spoke as you introduced your bill. Nobody in here wants to countenance antisemitism, and nobody in here is afraid to act—
CAPRIGLIONE: So do you believe that if someone makes an antisemitic remark—
BRYANT: If I may offer my question to you.
CAPRIGLIONE: Sure.
BRYANT: Nobody in here wants—
CAPRIGLIONE: That's not a question. That's a statement.
BRYANT: Well, questions have predicates, and I'm laying a predicate for it. Nobody in here wants to not be on the front lines against antisemitism. I'm asking you about our bullying statute, which currently doesn't single out any group for particular treatment.
SB 326 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Bryant raised a point of order against further consideration of SB 326 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2), of the House Rules on the grounds that the bill analysis is substantially or materially misleading. The point of order was withdrawn.
Amendment No. 1
Representative Rosenthal offered the following amendment to SB 326:
Amend SB 326 (house committee report) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. (a) The purpose of this legislation is to:
(1) direct school districts, open-enrollment charter schools, and public institutions of higher education to use the definition of antisemitism in Section 448.001, Government Code, to identify potential antisemitism in incidents in which a student has violated the student code of conduct; and
(2) use a common definition for antisemitism across school district, open-enrollment charter school, and public institution of higher education campuses for use in tracking and responding to those incidents at the district, school, and institution level.
(b) It is the intent of the legislature that this legislation not be used to punish speech protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 8, Article I, Texas Constitution, that is engaged in by a student enrolled at a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or public institution of higher education unless the speech is accompanied by actions that violate the district's, school's, or institution's student code of conduct.
AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE ROSENTHAL: While Jewish communities have differing perspectives on this bill and how it's been framed—and I will be speaking on the bill later today. Right now, I'm here to talk to you and let you know about input I've received from Jewish communities. Jewish communities overwhelmingly do support the freedom of speech—so freedom of speech is super important to Jewish communities. Jewish tradition places a very high value on this. And I'll just tell you, we view it as both an ancient Jewish value and a cornerstone of our democracy. This includes the right to express opinions even if they are controversial or unpopular. Now, Jewish tradition also recognizes the destructive potential of speech and emphasizes the importance of responsible communication.
Members, I personally have serious concerns on this bill. I'm concerned especially for students expressing solidarity with Palestinians or criticizing Israeli government policies, like I actually often do. And I feel certain that without this amendment to clarify the intent to preserve free speech, that these students may face discipline and even persecution for exercising their right to constitutionally protected speech. Members, that's why I feel so strongly about this amendment. And if you truly seek to support Jewish people—and I'm talking to all of you members—you'll also support this effort to preserve our First Amendment rights—and I'm talking about "our" First Amendment rights—and our traditional values. So I'm going to urge you to adopt this simple amendment.
And here's the substantive part of it: It is the intent of this legislature that this legislation not be used to punish speech protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 8, Article I, of the Texas Constitution that is engaged in by a student enrolled at a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or public institution of higher education unless the speech is accompanied by actions that violate the district's, school's, or institution's student code of conduct. This amendment only would codify the protection of First Amendment speech and the intent in the statute for that. So without this amendment, the only fully Jewish member of this assembly, me, will be forced to vote against this bill. I would hate for you all to put me in that position. If you will adopt this simple, little piece of language to protect our constitutional right, then I could vote for the bill in good conscience.
(Speaker in the chair)
REPRESENTATIVE ZWIENER: Thank you so much for offering this amendment, Representative Rosenthal. I just want to take a moment—I know we've had a lot of people walking in and out of lunch, especially since we were just on a point of order. Did you say you were the only Jewish member of this body right now?
ROSENTHAL: I am. Bar mitzvahed and confirmed. And I lived in Israel for a year. I'm not sure that makes any difference. If anyone else in this chamber can claim to be bar mitzvahed or more Jewish than me, please stand up and say so.
ZWIENER: Representative Rosenthal, this issue of antisemitism is deeply personal to you, then?
ROSENTHAL: It's deeply personal. So it's interesting when I see people talking on behalf of Jewish people everywhere, because there's one in the chamber; you could literally talk to me right here.
ZWIENER: Representative Rosenthal, you said without this amendment, you're a no on this bill because you think it will do more harm than good. Is that right?
ROSENTHAL: That's correct.
ZWIENER: But with this amendment, you can support this bill and encourage your colleagues to support it.
ROSENTHAL: Yes, and I'll say for the record that I have mixed emotions on the bill. But with this amendment, I would be comfortable voting for it, as I'm sure a number of colleagues who are on the fence about it will be also.
ZWIENER: Representative Rosenthal, you heard Representative Capriglione lay out his goals for this bill. Do you agree with his goals?
ROSENTHAL: Of course. The goals are admirable.
ZWIENER: So your amendment is merely helping Representative Capriglione achieve his goals without doing harm to our right of free speech. Is that correct?
ROSENTHAL: I would agree with that, yes.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLE: Representative Rosenthal, I have similar mixed feelings about this bill. I think your amendment is really excellent. One of the concerns that I have—frankly, I think your amendment undoes a lot of the work that the bill does in general. And the concern that I have is all of this speech is actually protected. We're trying to prevent antisemitism in schools, but I think your amendment goes a long way to try to protect the First Amendment concerns everyone has. I'd like you to respond to another issue that I'm concerned about with regard to the scope of the amendment as well. One of the concerns I have is how do we empower someone who works at a public school to decide the motivations of a child who says something inappropriate? How do we empower someone at a public school to decide whether a student acted in an antisemitic way or with that intent?
ROSENTHAL: Sir, that is not the content of this amendment.
LITTLE: I understand. I'm just posing the question to you. Are you trying to address that question through the amendment at all?
ROSENTHAL: I am not. That's not what this amendment does at all. It simply protects constitutionally protected—it simply codifies legislative intent to protect constitutionally protected free speech.
LITTLE: Which I think is important to do.

REASON FOR VOTE
Representative Vasut submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:
There were two competing interests at play with CSHB 23. On the one hand is the private property right of the landowner seeking to develop his or her property. When a local government delays permit review or inspections, a landowner's private property rights are impaired and subjected to increased cost.
CSHB 23 seeks to protect private property rights by giving landowners the option to pay for a third-party reviewer to evaluate their development documents or conduct inspections in a more expedited manner to reduce costs that may flow from delays. It is directly in line with Plank 30 of the Republican Party of Texas platform, which calls on the "Texas Legislature to continue to streamline the building permitting process to ease burdens and costs on developers and consumers." It removes government interference with private property rights, limits government power, and better affirms the inalienable property rights of individuals, as called for by priorities 4, 8, and 9 of the Republican Party of Texas platform.
On the other hand, local governments have an interest in adopting reasonable restrictions on reviewing development documents and conducting inspections necessary to protect the private property rights of nearby landowners.
CSHB 23—and the perfecting amendment by Representative Harris—preserves this right by, among other things, requiring the third-party reviewer or inspector to apply the same local standards to the review that would be applied by the local government and giving the local government power to revoke approval if the reviewer/inspector does not follow those standards.
The amendment by Representative Leach also addressed concerns that a nefarious property owner may seek to abuse this provision to skirt local government review by explicitly allowing the local government to review a development document or conduct an inspection if the fundamental constitutional rights of an individual in the area are being violated or the applicant is under investigation by the attorney general, county attorney, or district attorney.
I believe CSHB 23 appropriately balances the private property interests of the landowner and neighbors. For that reason, I voted yes.

It is the intent of the legislature that this legislation not be used to punish speech protected by the First Amendment to the United States Constitution or Section 8, Article I, Texas Constitution, that is engaged in by a student enrolled at a school district, open-enrollment charter school, or public institution of higher education unless the speech is accompanied by actions that violate the district's, school's, or institution's student code of conduct.
AMENDMENT NO. 2- REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE CANALES: This is a commonsense amendment that protects our First Amendment rights, and I believe it's acceptable to the author.
Amendment No. 2 was adopted.
(Geren now present)
SB 326 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE RAYMOND: This is an important bill. You know we've talked a lot about libraries here. I remember in our little school library in junior high in Benavides, the little town I grew up in, one of the first books I read was about the Holocaust, was about antisemitism, was about the discrimination toward Jewish people in this world, including the United States of America. I didn't understand it then, and I still don't today. Let me tell you something. I had someone drop by my office yesterday, and I'm going to read this. My staff—all you staffers out there, when you take notes when somebody drops by our offices, they're important, and sometimes your notes may be read on the floor of the house. So it said—I'm not going to say the man's name, but he's from Laredo––dropped in to register his opposition to HB 2391 by Capriglione regarding antisemitism, and it says, "which you're a JA on"—I'm a joint author on the bill. He says that TAMIU, Texas A&M International University, which is in Laredo, has been having protests that could be considered antisemitic under the definition of HB 2391, which he says is a certain perception of Jews that may be expressed as hatred toward Jews. And then he went on to say that "expressions of hatred are a First Amendment right."
Well, let me tell you something. There are lines that we have to draw in the sand. I hope someday we will. But when it comes to the Jewish community, I'm sick and tired, and I don't understand. I don't understand why so many people want to wipe them off the face of the earth, apparently some even in Laredo. I don't get it. I don't understand it. This bill should be one that everyone votes for. It should be one that everyone votes for. And I hope that if you have concerns, raise them. But I'll tell you something. We know this is true. We know that we've had more and more and more incidences across this state and across this country and across the world of people trying to say that because you're Jewish, you shouldn't even be living, or you shouldn't be able to walk into your class on the university campus, or you shouldn't be able to go to an elementary school without even elementary kids saying something about your being Jewish—and not in a good, kind way.
So that's hatred. But that's free speech, and it should be okay? Well, I say to this person in Laredo: I don't know whether you voted for me or not, but we disagree on this one, brother. We disagree on this one. So I hope that you look at this. I hope it passes whatever tests it's got to pass for you to press green when we vote on this bill. Let's do our part to stop this. I passed a bill here three sessions ago that we have to talk about the Holocaust, for example, in our schools one week a year. Because I've had, through the years, people come to my office here at the Capitol, and the Holocaust would come up, and they'd look at me and say, "If it really happened." If it really happened. I've been to Auschwitz. I've been to other concentration camps. I've read. I've talked to survivors. So, members, I could go on longer. I don't want to. I just hope that you will vote for this and that you understand we have to stop that hatred, and it should not be right.
REPRESENTATIVE ROSENTHAL: I want to make a special thank you to Chair Terry Canales for putting that amendment on the bill. That's one I had drafted, and I also want to thank Giovanni Capriglione—Representative, Chairman Capriglione—for working with me on that amendment to get to an agreeable position. I'm here to speak on the bill. Today is a tough day for me, members. As the only fully Jewish member of this assembly, I want to share some perspective from Jewish communities on this bill.
It may surprise some of you to learn that Jewish communities do not uniformly support this bill. Jewish communities do not uniformly oppose the bill. And so I'm just here to tell you, over these last couple of weeks, I have gotten an earful from Jewish communities—both for and against. Folks telling me, "Because you're the only Jewish person, you have to vote for it," and other folks telling me, "Because you're the only Jewish person, you have to vote against it"––emphatic input from across the spectrum. So I'd like to take a moment to help you understand some of the views, some of the issues with this.
So naturally, as many of us would expect, many Jews do support the bill, and supporters say it helps to bring visibility to rising antisemitism in schools. It will help determine if a student's violation of the school's code of conduct was driven by antisemitism. Supporters agree with using the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition—the IHRA definition—of antisemitism, and they say the examples that are used in that IHRA definition are critical toward helping illustrate the context. These advocates rightly point to an alarming rise in antisemitism in our schools—and really across the country and across the globe—and how this rise in hate toward us severely affects our families and communities. The Center for Antisemitism Research reported a 135 percent rise in antisemitic incidents in K-12 schools in the past year and note that 71 percent of K-12 Jewish parents in this country who were surveyed indicated that their child experienced antisemitic incidents at school. According to a January 2025 poll done by the Anti-Defamation League, Hillel International, and College Pulse, 83 percent of Jewish college students have experienced or witnessed some kind of antisemitism since October 7, 2023––the brutal, barbaric Hamas attacks on Israel. Two-thirds of Jewish students and 60 percent of non-Jewish students report they are not confident in their university's ability to prevent antisemitic incidents. Advocates say that clearly and accurately defining antisemitism is key to combatting this current dramatic spike.
Members, I'm sure some of you will be surprised to learn that a significant portion of the Jewish community opposes efforts like this. Those folks criticize this bill specifically for some very valid reasons. Opponents point to issues with the IHRA definition, especially when using it in this context. They assert that the definition was crafted without considerations for a legal application or regarding First Amendment considerations. The lead drafter on this––on the IHRA definition––is a lawyer and professor named Kenneth Stern. He opposes using the definition in statute. I can tell you this because I literally had a conversation with Dr. Kenneth Stern a week ago. We spoke for close to an hour. He was telling me how he has recently testified in the United States Senate to oppose the use of his own definition in statute. Opponents also say the examples portion of the IHRA definition of antisemitism has been criticized by legal experts, civil liberties organizations, and even some Jewish scholars. Critics warn that the IHRA dangerously conflates legitimate criticism of the Israeli government and its policies with actual antisemitism. Critics say this has been shown to have a chilling effect on constitutionally protected free speech in academic settings and disproportionately affects Palestinian, Arab, and Muslim students, whose political expression could be misconstrued and labeled as antisemitism. Some Jewish critics express concern that this type of legislation singles out the Jewish community and could actually bolster antisemitic tropes and stereotypes, reinforcing stereotypes of Jews as privileged and influential, and could further stigmatize our community.
Members, I would suggest that if we really wanted to address religious discrimination, religious persecution, and bullying, that we would be crafting a law to go after any form of religious persecution. Our great country was literally founded by folks seeking religious freedom. It's about liberty, y'all. So I do have concerns that students expressing solidarity with the Palestinians or criticizing Israeli policies could face discipline for their constitutionally protected free speech. And that's why I felt so strongly about making sure this amendment that we forwarded to protect free speech was adopted, and I'm so grateful that that was done. It allows me to vote for this bill in good conscience. Members, I know I've already stood up here too long. I'm grateful for your attention, and I hope that this has helped you understand a little bit of the complexity around this issue.
REPRESENTATIVE FLORES: Did I understand you correct, Representative Rosenthal, that with this amendment that's just been added, you feel more comfortable with voting for this piece of legislation?
ROSENTHAL: I do.
FLORES: I just wanted to add that my husband is Jewish, and so are my ancestors, even though I am not. And I have had this discussion with my husband, and he has agreed with you in the sense that he disagrees that Jews should be singled out and be protected because of the very reasons that you stated. He believes that there shouldn't be special consideration and that any protest against actions of the Israeli government should not be considered as being antisemitic, because he, himself, disagrees with the actions of the Israeli government from time to time, as do I. So anybody that legitimately protests those actions should not be considered antisemitic, because we are not. Because my husband and I greatly understand what it means—you know, being persecuted. I appreciate what you've done, and I appreciate your comments. Thank you for that clarification.
REPRESENTATIVE BHOJANI: I think we both agree that our colleagues are unanimous about opposing antisemitism and heinous acts, such as denying the horrors of the Holocaust. Would you say that's correct?
CAPRIGLIONE: Yes.
BHOJANI: And I just want to clarify, does this bill require K-12 schools, charter schools, and public colleges to use the state's definition of antisemitism when deciding discipline for a student whose conduct may have been motivated by antisemitic activity?
CAPRIGLIONE: It's about the motivation. But, yes, it would point to Section 448.001 of the Government Code, which is, like I said, already in statute. This bill in no way changes the definition.
BHOJANI: Thank you, Chairman. I appreciate the intent of this bill. Is it accurate that the definition being referenced here is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's working definition of antisemitism?
CAPRIGLIONE: The definition of antisemitism referenced in SB 326 comes directly from Section 448.001 of the Texas Government Code, which itself is based on the IHRA working definition of antisemitism.
BHOJANI: A concern that has been made to me is that the principal author of this definition, antisemitism expert Kenneth Stern, who is a member of the Jewish community, has raised concerns that this definition has sometimes been applied in ways that chill free speech. Therefore, I just want to clarify that the intent of this bill is not to silence constitutionally protected criticism of any nation's government or military actions. Is that correct?
CAPRIGLIONE: That's right. The intent of SB 326 is not and never has been to silence constitutionally protected criticism.
BHOJANI: I appreciate the body's commitment to taking the right steps to combat hatred, because hate against one community is hate against everyone.
REPRESENTATIVE LITTLE: I think everybody in this chamber rightly agrees that antisemitism is bad. Every Denton County representative—we actually put a letter out to the University of North Texas in conjunction with their anti-Israel art display in their student union because we don't like those sorts of things. And yet here I find myself having concerns about the protection of free speech and the effect of your bill. So as I read through Section 1—and Section 1 of the bill relates to public schools, right?
CAPRIGLIONE: Right.
LITTLE: Kindergarten through 12th grade?
CAPRIGLIONE: K-12, yes.
LITTLE: Chairman Capriglione, who at my son's middle school is charged with determining whether a 7th grade boy or girl is engaged in antisemitism? And how do they do that?
CAPRIGLIONE: Well, there's a code of conduct that every school has, and there's a process by which disciplinary action can be determined and occur. So generally speaking, there's a principal, there's an administrator whose job it is to determine whether any action, not just antisemitism, whether that's bullying, whether that's cheating on their homework––there's a process by which disciplinary actions occur as part of that code of conduct. So, again, this bill in no way says what—if an action occurs that's already against the student's code of conduct, then this bill just says what the intent behind that was and what the definition of that was—if in that case, it's antisemitism.
LITTLE: But how does a public school teacher or an assistant principal determine what is and isn't antisemitism based on what a 7th grade boy or girl does? Help me understand.
CAPRIGLIONE: Sure. So they'll be able to use—now—because right now they don't, right? Right now, there is no definition. There are no examples to go by. So what this legislation does, again, is it reaffirms and it points to the section in the Government Code, which already exists. And in that section of the Government Code, we've already defined not just the definition but also examples, working examples. So if you look at the IHRA examples and the work group, in the work that they've done, I think anyone would be able to use those examples to come to the determination of whether or not a student—not violated the code of conduct. Because, again, the violation of the code of conduct is someone making harassment, a threatening remark, and those are obvious, and we know that. The question is, was that because of antisemitic actions? And that's what this bill does. Not to say, hey, these words themselves were against the code of conduct. This is to say that this was already against the code of conduct. This is already something that's subject to current policies—but what was the intent, and what was the origin, and why did they do that? And that's what this bill does. And so for the body, I think that's the basic—needs to be reiterated is that this does not create any requirement to discipline someone because of the definitions that are in here.
LITTLE: But my question is, but then what? A student comes home from school and says, "Dad, my assistant principal said I engaged in antisemitic conduct." Then what? Does it go in their permanent file? Do they go to DAEP? How does the school address antisemitic conduct for a kid that just simply doesn't know any better once an assistant principal has decided you engaged in an antisemitic act?
CAPRIGLIONE: It's hard because you're giving a theoretical argument, right? Let's say in a situation where the student says something that says—and these are some examples in the IHRA example—says for instance, "Hey, it was the Jews who killed Jesus." There's a difference between the student saying that in a class as an answer, maybe, to what the teacher said or what someone else says as opposed to the student bullying, harassing maybe Jewish students in there—by saying that repeatedly. Again, the discipline is for the bullying, the harassment, threatening actions that he has done against those other students. It's not him coming home and saying, "Hey, I was being antisemitic." It's him saying, "Hey, I was bullying and threatening and harassing some kids." Whether that gets put into a file or document is dependent on the school.
LITTLE: But then what do we do with that information, Chairman Capriglione? So a child has engaged in bullying, harassment, intimidation of another student. What do we do then after the school says, yes, you did those things, but you did it in—
CAPRIGLIONE: I'll tell you what my dad would do. And that's what the question is, right? The question is what do we go and say when someone is bullying and threatening, harassing a student or when we're talking at a university where they're doing it, maybe vandalism? Maybe they're going and actually making physical threats. Maybe, as in the case that happened last summer—maybe because of the reason that you sent that letter—they're stopping students from studying. Maybe they're going and they're actually being belligerent. Maybe they're making death threats. Maybe they're throwing things. Maybe they're carving swastikas in the doors. That is the action that is already against disciplinary—that we're trying to stop.
In terms of why we want to go and give it a name, it's because there is a name to it. And if you go and you try and hide from the name, you're trying to go and sweep it under the rug. You're trying to say—just like a lot of people have come up already today and said, "Yeah, I think that's wrong, and I'm against antisemitism, but..." And no one has ever told me what the words after "but" are. But the reality is it's wrong. And what we're saying is if you do those things, some of the things that you said you had put in that letter against the University of North Texas or whoever university that you were doing––it was those actions and those activities, and you wrote that letter because you wanted people to know that what they were doing was wrong. And you wanted to give a name to what they were doing. And that's what this bill does.
LITTLE: My question to you is if those things are already against the school's code of conduct—bullying, harassment, intimidation—why do we need—
CAPRIGLIONE: We're giving it a name. We're giving it a definition so that when people say, "Was that antisemitic?" there are examples, and there's a definition that shows it. Again, it's in the Government Code. This is essentially pointing to it in the Education Code so that things that happened last summer don't happen again.
LITTLE: Okay. I think I understand your answers. Thank you, Chairman.
REPRESENTATIVE MOODY: I know that the focus of your bill is the conduct of children and what they're doing in these—
CAPRIGLIONE: And students in university.
MOODY: Students in college, sorry. Young people, right?
CAPRIGLIONE: Yeah.
MOODY: You would agree with me that this type of hatred, this type of conduct, isn't something that a child is born with. This is a learned behavior. This is a learned hate, is it not?
CAPRIGLIONE: I think what happens is that people see, read things on the news, read things on social media, maybe at home, but sometimes they come to these unfortunate conclusions by themselves. But, yes, people are primarily motivated by their environment.
MOODY: Do you think that the way that adults interact with these ideologies—whether it be Holocaust deniers or neo-Nazis or antisemitic people—the way adults either normalize or rebuke that conduct, that has a great deal of an impact on how the younger generation is going to interact with those concepts and ideals?
CAPRIGLIONE: I agree with you. And that's why I think what we do here today is important as well. People look to their parents; they look at movie stars, actors, but they also look at us for leadership. And that's why I think it's important that we do what we're doing here today.
MOODY: Mr. Capriglione, I'm glad you're putting the mirror up to us. Because how we interact with known Holocaust deniers or people that espouse neo-Nazi principles—how we interact with them—that's seen by the younger generation. And when we normalize that conduct, this is what we're having to do.
CAPRIGLIONE: One hundred percent agree.
MOODY: It is incumbent upon leaders to protect the dignity of humanity, is it not?
CAPRIGLIONE: It is. And 100 percent agree with you.
MOODY: And I know that you believe that in your heart. I appreciate you working with Mr. Rosenthal on this bill to make it a better bill.
REPRESENTATIVE MORALES SHAW: I think we all appreciate the gravity and the need for this kind of bill, but there are some discrepancies that have come to our attention. And one of them is that there has been some pushback referencing the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance definition or scope. That's the IHRA, which is elusive, like a lot of things in our bills. And to understand what we're voting on, I did find Chapter 448. Christian's going to talk a little more about that. But can you elaborate on the IHRA and why there's pushback about using that as a broad definition for this bill?
CAPRIGLIONE: I'm not going to speak to why there's pushback. Again, as I pointed out, thousands of government entities across the world––including the United States and dozens of other countries––have agreed with this definition, have put it in place. As I mentioned before, both republican and democratic administrations have used this very definition as well. And so I want to give some examples because I think—
MORALES SHAW: Okay. That would help.
CAPRIGLIONE: —for those who haven't had a chance to look up the IHRA, I want people to know what we're talking about. So some of the examples that people talk about are drawing comparisons of Israel policy to that of the Nazis. Would you agree that that is something that might be considered antisemitic?
MORALES SHAW: I think I'm asking the questions. Go ahead. I'm listening. I think this is what we're looking for, just an elaboration on what the bill is referencing that's elusive to a lot of the people that aren't doing a deeper dive into this.
CAPRIGLIONE: I can't speak to the people who find this elusive. So if you would let me now, like, hey—
MORALES SHAW: The IHRA, can you speak to the scope of that or to some examples of that? Like I said, I had—
CAPRIGLIONE: So using symbols and images associated with antisemitism. Drawing comparisons of Jews and Jewish policy to that of the Nazis—those are some examples. Wishing death to the Jews. Those are some examples that are inside the IHRA. That's why I do find it a little concerning when people say, "Well, I don't like those examples." I think those are reasonable examples that we are putting in place—that are already in place—to say what the definition of antisemitism is.
MORALES SHAW: Got it. And as my colleague Mitch Little asked about the student code of conduct––that we already have a code of conduct, and we've already adopted the IHRA as well, in May 2016. And is it your opinion that that's not sufficient to address any antisemitism activity on higher education campuses?
CAPRIGLIONE: That is correct.
REPRESENTATIVE MANUEL: Representative, I know what your intent of this bill is. We went to Israel together. I'm not here to forget what geopolitical time we're in right now. I think the thing that really concerns me about this bill is, in Section 448 of the Government Code, it says "non-Jewish individuals or their property." So would this—
CAPRIGLIONE: I'm sorry. Is this in my bill?
MANUEL: This is in your bill—
CAPRIGLIONE: Which section?
MANUEL: —which says "shall use the definition of antisemitism provided by Section 448.001, Government Code." And in the Government Code, in that section, in part (2), it says "or their property." So if you were to talk about a Jewish person's property, anything that they own, would that be considered them being antisemitic?
CAPRIGLIONE: Sorry, I'm trying to find where you are. Which line number are you on?
MANUEL: On (2) of the Government Code.
CAPRIGLIONE: Of the Government Code itself.
MANUEL: Yes, of the Government Code itself. It says antisemitism—
CAPRIGLIONE: So that's already in the code you're talking about. And my bill is not changing that.
MANUEL: Right. So what I'm saying is if you were to talk about a Jewish person's property, that would be you being antisemitic? Under what we're talking about?
CAPRIGLIONE: That's only in the concept of—again, we're not creating an action itself that is already against the code of conduct. It's what is the intent and the purpose. If you're talking about it in terms of the person and what they do and what they have and all that kind of stuff, if that collectively comes across as racist or antisemitic, then all of that is covered under the current statute of Government Code. Just to be clear, we're not changing one word of the current law.
MANUEL: Correct. But that's what I'm saying. If you were to talk about a Jewish person's property, it would—
CAPRIGLIONE: You can talk about a Jewish person's property. You can talk about my property.
MANUEL: I'm not saying, like, "Oh, it's a nice house." If you say it in a negative way—talking about their shoes, their house, their curtains, anything—to say it in a negative way, that could be considered antisemitism, correct?
CAPRIGLIONE: If it's based on examples that we have and if you're doing it for the purpose and the intent that the definition that's in the Government Code is, then that would be the definition. But that is separate and apart from the code of conduct and the policies that there are.
MANUEL: I can't hear, but I'm just going to ask this last part on it. Why are we only looking at one group of people who have been in a genocide? Because I know we've had—
CAPRIGLIONE: If you look—
MANUEL: The reason I bring that up is, for instance, the first concentration camps in the world were in 1904 to 1908 in Zambia, Africa, where they did the exact same experiments on. That was a genocide of a group of people that aren't listed that we're protecting and making sure that people can't deny it. The Armenian genocide that happened by the Ottoman Empire. And we still do work with them, and we still have partnerships with them, but they deny the killing of 800,000 to 1.2 million Armenians in 1915 during the war, and we just recognized it in 2022. My point of it is, it's so broad, but we're only doing it for one group of people.
CAPRIGLIONE: What's so broad?
MANUEL: It's broad enough to where—it's broad for me. The way I'm reading it. I know what your intent—I know where your heart is. I'm not trying to be adversarial. The problem is, for me, it opens it up so much to where it seems like we're taking away American liberties, and we're almost getting into a British-type system where you can start penalizing people for words. I don't want anyone saying any racist things, homophobic, any of that. But it just seems like we're—this is so broad, and we're also not putting other protected groups of people who should be in here. How would you tell an Armenian person that they shouldn't be protected under this same level, especially an Armenian Jewish person?
CAPRIGLIONE: It's a long question, and I'm going to give you two answers. The answer to the first part is: Why are we doing this? There are, obviously, protections already—currently—in K-12, in higher education, on a whole bunch of different classes and groups. Right?
MANUEL: Yes.
CAPRIGLIONE: Sex, gender, religion. There are a lot of protections that are in place today. So we can't really make the case that this is creating some first and only class that's being protected.
MANUEL: Correct.
CAPRIGLIONE: Second, in terms of why we're doing this bill, antisemitic bill, versus another bill––Christian, you and I went almost a year ago to Israel. We went, and we visited Jerusalem. We went, and we visited Tel Aviv. But we also visited the kibbutzes. We saw the women and the children and the soldiers who were attacked, whose family members were murdered, whose kids were shot at close range. You and I heard the bombs.
MANUEL: Every day.
CAPRIGLIONE: You and I saw the shrapnel of the grenade inside the homes of those little kids that were blown up in the morning, 1,000-plus. We went to that concert, the field of that concert, where we saw all those images—young kid after kid, shot in the head, shot from behind, for one reason and one reason only. And then in the middle of all of that, we saw back here in the United States and in Texas, students, a lot of them—because of outside influence and external influences—who were antisemitic, to use the definition in here, who were stopping students from going to class, who were making death threats, who were reveling in the joy of the deaths and the murders of what happened in Israel. So why are we doing this bill as opposed to another bill? It's because of that trip, it's because of what happened there, and it's because it's the right thing to do.
MANUEL: I promise I'm not going to try to keep belaboring the point. Also when we were there—I don't know if you remember—I told you at the exact same time we were listening to the same creation of something else happening a mile from us. Not making any excuse for any of the things that we're saying. It was horrific. It was completely sad. I think, for me, my understanding of this is the one thing that we did learn there is that the laws that we put in place in the U.S., from immigration in 1927 to Jim Crow laws, were the laws that Nazis used to implement the Holocaust. And what I'm saying, looking at this, if we know that their slogan there is "never again"—which I think is a great slogan, "ever again"—why are we not making sure to honor these Jewish people specifically, especially the ones who died? Why are we not making sure that other people who were in holocausts are not also in this as well? Because, for instance, there were and are Armenian Jewish people who were in the first holocaust in this world that we know of, which was in 1915. And they're being denied this same protection because they're Armenian. They may have never lived in Israel, but they are being denied. And I think, for me, it's a little broad—for me. Other people will see it exactly how you see it. I just also know if I can see it that way, I know other people would see it that way. Again, I know where your heart is. I just think it goes too broad, and it's—I hate to say this—I think it's too un-American, because it's telling us how we have to speak, and—I appreciate it.
CAPRIGLIONE: It doesn't do that, but okay. That's fine.
REPRESENTATIVE BRYANT: Mr. Capriglione, Mr. Little a moment ago asked some questions about the practicalities of what you're attempting to do here and made reference, I believe, in his questioning to the bill's reference to an outside source for a definition of antisemitism, which is the International Holocaust Remembrance Alliance's definition. Is that correct?
CAPRIGLIONE: Again, I'll point out that—
BRYANT: I'm asking you just a question—yes or no.
CAPRIGLIONE: Well, I'd like to answer it more than just yes or no.
BRYANT: I have it in my hands here.
CAPRIGLIONE: You have it—can you do me a favor? Then read it? Read what it says.
BRYANT: Well, I don't think the house wants me to read because it's two pages long, which is my point.
CAPRIGLIONE: Is it too descriptive?
BRYANT: It's two pages long, and it's mostly examples.
CAPRIGLIONE: Can you read the first example? I don't have my glasses on. Would you mind reading the first example?
BRYANT: Yes, I would, because to read one would require me to read all of them in order for it to be a complete picture.
CAPRIGLIONE: You don't want to say it is what it comes down to.
BRYANT: Excuse me?
CAPRIGLIONE: I guess you don't want to read it. That's fine.
BRYANT: I want to do what I just said. I want to make the point that this is a two-page standard. It's referenced—it's not in our statute but referenced by the statute that includes a lengthy list of examples. It's going to be somewhat difficult. And so I suggest to you, why not amend your bill to say that it applies to physical acts directed toward Jewish or non-Jewish individuals of any faith? That would cover everybody. Wouldn't that be a good idea?
CAPRIGLIONE: Again, what the intent and the goal of this bill is to look at the current definition of antisemitism. Antisemitism is the goal of this bill. I point to the section in the Government Code on that definition. So for those reasons, that's what this bill is about.
BRYANT: What do you propose with regard to anti-Islam sentiment, Islamophobia?
CAPRIGLIONE: First of all, I'll point out that a lot of universities already have and schools have rules against discrimination, which includes that as well. This is about creating and pointing in the Education Code––how to affect the conduct policy on antisemitism.
BRYANT: Well, what about something that your side of the aisle speaks of often during campaigns? And that's persecution of Christians.
CAPRIGLIONE: Listen, this isn't about—you're trying to—
BRYANT: Let me ask my question if I may.
CAPRIGLIONE: With your permission, I'll answer your questions so far.
BRYANT: My question hasn't been stated yet. My question is: How are you going to protect Muslims?
CAPRIGLIONE: So we have in place today mechanisms for identifying racial, sexual, and religious bias in student conduct investigations. But antisemitism, as you may know, often falls through the cracks, either because it's misunderstood or disguised, as it might be today, as political rhetoric. SB 326 makes it clear that it's treated with the same seriousness. It ensures that Jewish students get the same protections as everyone else.
BRYANT: I won't debate that with you because I think you have made your point. I'm just simply saying, why not a three-line amendment that says that bullying includes this type of behavior toward any faith? Would you accept that amendment?
CAPRIGLIONE: I have, I think, already accepted a very good amendment, and I look forward to passing this bill with this added amendment by Representative Rosenthal. Mr. Speaker, members, I urge you to support SB 326. Let's stand on the right side of history. Let's protect our students. Let's affirm that in Texas, hate has no home––certainly not in our classrooms.

REASONS FOR VOTE
Representative Garcia Hernandez submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:
I was deeply concerned about the potential impact this bill could have on freedom of speech for students at our public universities, due to the use of a definition that––even Jewish scholars and organizations have emphasized––has been used to infringe upon First Amendment rights. However, those concerns were addressed with the adoption of Amendment No. 2 by Representative Rosenthal. With that amendment in place, I voted in favor of SB 326. I would also like to see future legislation that addresses violations of a code of conduct motivated by Islamophobia, anti-Hindu sentiment, anti-Sikh sentiment, and all other forms of religious-based bigotry. All students in Texas, regardless of their faith or beliefs, deserve to feel safe.
Representative Little submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:
I remain extremely concerned about the effect of this bill on our freedoms of speech. I am also concerned about creating a regime where schoolchildren can be charged with antisemitism, enforced at the hands of trusted teachers and administrators. While the scourge of antisemitism is very real, I am not sure this bill is the solution. On the sheer hope that our Jewish students in this state will feel safer, I voted yes.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
Representative Howard moved to print all remarks on SB 326.
The motion prevailed.

CSHB 112 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Cain raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 112 under Rule 8, Section 1(b), of the House Rules. The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Cain raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 112 under Rule 8, Section 1(b), on the grounds that the caption does not provide proper notice of the imposition, authorization, increase, or change of a tax, assessment, surcharge, or fee.
The bill grants a district established under the chapter added by the bill the powers granted to a municipal management district under Section 375.092, Local Government Code. Section 375.092(h) grants those districts the power to "establish and maintain reasonable and nondiscriminatory rates, fares, tolls, charges, rents, or other fees or compensation."
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
CSHB 112 was returned to the Committee on Trade, Workforce, and Economic Development.

CSHB 463 ON SECOND READING

CSHB 463, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to certain pretrial hearings for defendants charged with certain controlled substance offenses and the expunction of all records and files related to arrests for certain controlled substance offenses.
CSHB 463 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE J. JONES: This bill ensures that Texans who are actually innocent—those charged with drug crimes when lab results show no drugs—have their records automatically expunged. I want to thank my joint authors—Representatives Curry, Little, and LaHood—for their bipartisan support. Texas Policy Research and Right On Crime support this bill. This is a re-file. It made it out of here and died in the senate last year.

CSHB 2043 ON SECOND READING
(by Lambert and Capriglione)
CSHB 2043, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the regulation of earned wage access services; requiring an occupational registration; imposing fees.
CSHB 2043 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Cain raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 2043 under Rule 4, Section 40, and Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules.
(Speaker in the chair)
The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Cain raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 2043 under Rule 4, Section 40, and Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the committee substitute is not germane.
The introduced bill was relatively narrow, establishing new consumer protections for consumers in dealings with existing earned wage access services. The committee substitute vastly expands the bill, creating a comprehensive regulatory scheme that, among other things, prohibits existing earned wage access services from doing business unless they are registered with the consumer credit commissioner. Nothing in the original bill required a license or registration before doing business. In addition, in the committee substitute, registration is not contingent upon following the same or similar consumer protection requirements in the original bill, but instead imposes requirements not tied to the consumer-business relationship. For example, a service may not operate in the state if the consumer credit commissioner finds that a service cannot "command the confidence of the public." The substitute is vastly broader that the original bill, and thus is not germane. See 88 H. Jour. 2177-2178 (2023); 87 H. Jour. 3882 (2021).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained. Pursuant to Rule 4, Section 41, the bill is returned to the Committee on Calendars.
CSHB 2043 was returned to the Committee on Calendars.

AMENDMENT NO. 3 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE ISAAC: This amendment strikes two organizations that have embraced political ideologies like ESG and DEI, contrary to Texas values and laws. We should not outsource our standards to unelected, unaccountable groups pushing agendas Texans have firmly rejected. If an organization that embraces ESG or DEI in its reference and statute—consider yourself on notice. Focus on what you do. Leave politics to elected officials.
REPRESENTATIVE ANCHÍA: When we visited earlier today, you said you did not like both UL and the IEEE because you thought they were "woke," right? Or they had ESG as part of their website, correct?
ISAAC: The Underwriter Laboratories actively engages in ESG initiatives with clear goals and reporting structures in place. And the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers demonstrates a commitment to DEI through dedicated committees and initiatives.
ANCHÍA: We specifically were looking at the websites, and you say they do ESG. I'm looking at a website right now: "We are constantly working to meet the changing needs of our customers and stakeholders." The ability to adapt—this is under "sustainability." Do you find that to be—when they use the word "sustainability," is that objectionable?
ISAAC: No.
ANCHÍA: Okay. How about when they use the word "climate"? Is that objectionable? Like, for example, "Getting on a path to net-zero requires unprecedented innovation and collaboration at immense scale." Do you find that objectionable?
ISAAC: Yes. Net-zero? Yes.
ANCHÍA: Okay. What about when a group has environmental, social, and corporate governance? For example, "Strategies and objectives that positively impact our employees' operation and communities where we operate. Our approach to ESG serves as a road map for our environmental and social priorities." Does that sound offensive?
ISAAC: Correct. That's environmental-social governance.
ANCHÍA: And what about the following, under "environmental stewardship": "With a thoughtful and responsible plan, we're doing our part for a healthy balance of natural resources in our world while ensuring future generations have abundant resources to enjoy. We are showing local communities what corporate social responsibility should look like." Corporate and social responsibility, does that sound offensive?
ISAAC: Social responsibility? Maybe.
ANCHÍA: Members, I just read to you from the web pages of ExxonMobil, Energy Transfer, and Omni Hotels, okay?
ISAAC: Yes, I believe you. I don't know your point.
ANCHÍA: So your objection is to some very conservative companies here, just because you see the words "social responsibility." You currently want to undermine safety standards of Underwriter Labs, which has been around for 120 years and is the reference for electrical standards in the United States. Are you aware of that?
ISAAC: I'm also aware—
ANCHÍA: No, no. Are you aware of that?
ISAAC: I am aware that—
ANCHÍA: Okay, good. Are you also aware—
ISAAC: —that BlackRock—
ANCHÍA: Are you also aware—
ISAAC: I'm aware that BlackRock—
ANCHÍA: —that IEEE is an international trade association of electrical engineers and sets the standards internationally for safety and for technical standards? Are you aware of that?
ISAAC: I am also aware that BlackRock is the "gold standard" of financial institutions—
ANCHÍA: I didn't ask you about BlackRock.
ISAAC: —and I know that they're on the boycott list because of ESG and DEI.
ANCHÍA: I didn't ask you about BlackRock. I asked you about the two entities that you're trying to strike in your amendment. So you have some objection to these? Even though in the bill—and I'll direct you to the exact language of the bill—this is in Subsection (b). I'm looking at the committee substitute on line 15: "The commission by rule may establish," and I'll start, "safety, technical, and performance standards." Do you understand that?
ISAAC: Yes.
ANCHÍA: And is UL the gold standard in safety, technical, and performance standards in the United States?
ISAAC: Yes, and BlackRock is also the gold standard in financial institutions.
ANCHÍA: This is not BlackRock.
ISAAC: And they are on our boycott list. Members, any association with entities actively promoting ESG and DEI threaten the integrity of Texas law and undermines our leadership nationally.
REPRESENTATIVE CAPRIGLIONE: I haven't been back here in two to four years. What I do want to point out is that when I used to work with IEEE, what they focused on was creating standards—standards on how computer chips would talk to other computer chips. In fact, without the standards that they have and they've created, the Internet wouldn't be around and electronics would not really be able to function with one another. So with all due respect, I don't think your amendment is doing what I think you think it is.
ISAAC: I believe that including these two organizations introduces the risk that recommendations will be steeped in ideology assumptions about climate change, energy use, and environmental policies.
REPRESENTATIVE K. BELL: Representative, I don't think you've ever seen me back here on the back mic. But my concern with the amendment is Underwriter Laboratories—UL. Every electrical component installed in the United States is listed by Underwriter Laboratories. The National Electric Code which is the state electrical code for the State of Texas that was adopted by Chapter 1305 of the Labor Code in 2004—is the code for the whole State of Texas, and every component has to be UL listed. Are you aware?
ISAAC: I believe they need to focus on what they do and stay out of political agendas.
K. BELL: I understand your argument, and I'm not talking about the ESG or asking that question.
ISAAC: That's what I'm talking about.
K. BELL: I know. I just wanted to make sure you're aware that the components have to be UL listed and you have to meet the National Electric Code for any installation in the State of Texas.
ISAAC: And they would need to stick to that. Members, Texas policy must be based on reliable data, free from political activism.
ANCHÍA: I mean, you even heard the author admit this is the gold standard in technical and safety standards. That is what the language of the bill is. If you look on line 15 of the bill, it says, "safety, technical, and performance standards." What are the best safety, technical, and performance standards in the United States? It's UL. What are the best safety, technical, and performance standards in the world? It's the IEEE, as was pointed out by Representative Capriglione. We will not be a serious body if we cannot adhere to the highest technical standards in the industry and somehow call them out as "woke" or something. Like, let's be serious legislators here, ladies and gentlemen. Please vote with me on this motion to table.
ISAAC: Again, we should not outsource our standards to unelected, unaccountable groups pushing agendas that Texas has firmly rejected.
Representative Anchía moved to table Amendment No. 3.
The motion to table prevailed.
Amendment No. 2 was adopted.
