(2) In amended Section 157.265(b), Family Code, strike "a rate per year equal to the federal funds rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the first day of the calendar year for which interest is being calculated, [the rate of six percent simple interest per year]" and substitute "the interest rate determined under Section 304.003, Finance Code, [rate of six percent simple interest per year]".
(3) In amended Section 157.265(c), Family Code, strike "a rate per year equal to the federal funds rate published by the Federal Reserve Bank of New York on the first day of the calendar year for which interest is being calculated, [the annual rate of six percent simple interest]" and substitute "the interest rate determined under Section 304.003, Finance Code, [annual rate of six percent simple interest]".
AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE SLAWSON: Yesterday, we approved an amendment on this bill, and I don't think we fully realized at the time what we did. So we have a new amendment up here. As the author was just talking about, we were trying to create some parity with other judgment rates. And in the Texas Finance Code, we already have a standard formula for judgment interest rates, set at the prime rate by the Federal Reserve. But yesterday, when we approved an amendment, we tied it to a different rate, the federal funds rate. And members, some years that federal funds rate is actually around zero to 0.25 percent, which would have the effect—for delinquent child support—of essentially giving a free pass when those delinquent parents are not paying support for their kids. And I know that wasn't the author's intent at the time, so we're looking to fix that today.
REPRESENTATIVE HULL: We're talking about the rate. The interest rate on this is a penalty for the delinquent late payment. Is that correct?
SLAWSON: Correct.
HULL: Correct. So the parent that owes the money is not borrowing from the parent owed the money because this is not a loan. Is that correct?
SLAWSON: Correct.
HULL: This amendment—your amendment—fixes this, so we are not incentivizing a parent to not pay or even to go and invest in the stock market to go make money instead of paying the child support that they owe. Is that correct?
SLAWSON: Yes, it is.
HULL: Thank you. And we want to make sure that we are not asking the parent owed the money to finance, basically, the deadbeat parent's neglect. Is that correct?
SLAWSON: Correct.
HULL: Do you know which parent it is that is more likely to receive and to be the one depending on the child support?
SLAWSON: Yes, actually. Our office called the Office of the Attorney General's Child Support Division today and asked, just statistically, which parent is usually the payee. And their rough percentage on that is about 90 percent of the time, it's the mother.
HULL: Representative Slawson, do you know what we are celebrating this weekend?
SLAWSON: I do. In about three several days, we'll be celebrating Mother's Day.
HULL: That is right. So since you said that it's basically 90 percent moms who receive child support and we are celebrating Mother's Day this weekend, is cutting a break to a delinquent and deadbeat dad the message we want to send to Texas moms on Mother's Day weekend?
SLAWSON: I don't believe so. And I thank Chair Dutton for helping us fix this today. I do believe that this amendment is acceptable to the author.

ADDRESS BY REPRESENTATIVE PHELAN
REPRESENTATIVE PHELAN: With profound joy and reverence, I am pleased to share an announcement that resonates deeply with millions of Catholics in Texas, throughout our nation, and around the world. Earlier today, white smoke rose above the Sistine Chapel in Vatican City, signaling the election of a new pope—the 267th successor to St. Peter the Apostle. The College of Cardinals—guided by prayer, tradition, and the Holy Spirit—has elected Cardinal Robert Prevost—the new bishop of Rome and the spiritual leader of the Roman Catholic Church—the first American pope, known as Pope Leo XIV.
This is a sacred moment in the life of the church—a time of renewal, unity, and hope. The pope is not only a shepherd to over a billion Catholics worldwide but also a global voice for peace, compassion, and the dignity of every human life. As a Catholic and as a public servant, I am reminded today of the enduring power of faith to shape hearts and guide service. Let us join together, regardless of our faith tradition, in wishing Pope Leo strength and wisdom as he undertakes this solemn responsibility. And let us pray for a new spirit of understanding and justice and grace in this world.

Representative Little offered the following amendment to CSSB 17:
Amend CSSB 17 (house committee report) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTION to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. (a) The legislature finds the following as informed by the determination of the United States Director of National Intelligence in the 2025 Annual Threat Assessment of the U.S. Intelligence Community issued pursuant to Section 108B, National Security Act of 1947 (50 U.S.C. Section 3043b):
(1) with respect to China:
(A) China's dominance in the mining and processing of critical materials is a particular threat, providing it with the ability to restrict quantities and affect global prices. Beijing has shown a willingness to restrict global access to its mineral resources;
(B) China is using an aggressive whole-of-government approach, combined with state direction of the private sector, to become a global science and technology superpower. It wishes to surpass the United States and achieve further economic, political, and military gain;
(C) China is accelerating its progress by using illicit means;
(D) China has stolen hundreds of gigabytes of intellectual property from companies across the world, including from the United States;
(E) China is heavily investing in collecting health and genetic data;
(F) China poses health risks to the world;
(G) Beijing will continue to expand its coercive, subversive, and malignant influence activities to weaken the United States. It seeks to suppress critical views of China within the United States; and
(H) China has increased its capabilities to conduct covert influence operations and disseminate disinformation;
(2) with respect to Russia:
(A) Russia's advanced cyber capabilities, its repeated success compromising sensitive targets for intelligence collection, and its past attempts to access United States critical infrastructure make it a persistent counterintelligence and cyber attack threat; and
(B) Russia intentionally stokes political discord in the West including by amplifying preferred Russian narratives. Russia discretely engages Americans in these processes while hiding Russia's involvement;
(3) with respect to Iran:
(A) Iran's growing expertise and willingness to conduct aggressive cyber operations make it a major threat to the security of the United States. Guidance from Iranian leaders has incentivized cyber actors to become more aggressive in developing capabilities to conduct cyberattacks;
(B) Iran remains committed to its longstanding efforts to develop surrogate networks inside the United States; and
(C) Iran has previously tried to conduct lethal operations in the United States; and
(4) With respect to North Korea:
(A) North Korea may expand its ongoing cyber espionage operations;
(B) North Korea continues to pursue military capabilities that threaten the United States and enable the North to undermine the United States;
(C) cooperation among China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea has grown rapidly in recent years, reinforcing threats from each. Such cooperation has strengthened their abilities to harm the United States; and
(D) North Korea will continue to defy international sanctions and engage in illicit activities, including stealing cryptocurrency, sending labor overseas, and trading UN-proscribed goods to resource and fund the North's priorities.
(b) The legislature finds it necessary to exercise the police power of this state as provided in this legislation.

REASON FOR VOTE
Representative Virdell submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:
I voted PNV on the bill because the original purpose was supposed to be to stop CCP and other countries of concern from purchasing large plats of land. Also, an amendment expanded power to the state executive branch and should have given power to the legislature. I agree with the intent of the bill. I want to stop our enemies from owning land within our state and our country. If the bill is corrected when it comes back from conference, I will vote for it.

The motion prevailed. [The text of the debate was not available at the time of printing.]
