CSHB 21 ON SECOND READING
(by Gates, Capriglione, Martinez Fischer, Tepper, C. Bell, et al.)
CSHB 21, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to housing finance corporations; authorizing a fee.
CSHB 21 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Dutton raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 21 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 The point of order was withdrawn.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 Gates offered the following amendment to CSHB 21:
Amend CSHB 21 (house committee report) as follows:
(1) On page 1, strike lines 6 through 17 and substitute the following:
Sec. 394.004. APPLICATION OF CHAPTER TO CERTAIN RESIDENTIAL DEVELOPMENTS. This chapter applies only to a residential development at least 90 percent of which is for use by or is intended to be occupied by households [persons] of low and moderate income whose adjusted gross income [, together with the adjusted gross income of all persons who intend to reside with those persons in one dwelling unit,] did not for the preceding tax year exceed the maximum amount constituting moderate income as defined under the housing finance corporation's rules, resolutions relating to the issuance of bonds, or financing documents relating to the issuance of bonds.
(2) On page 5, strike lines 14 through 17 and substitute the following:
housing finance corporation if:
(1) at least 50 percent of the units in the multifamily residential development are reserved for occupancy by individuals and families earning less than 80 percent of the area median family income; or
(2) the units in the multifamily residential development are reserved in the manner provided by Section 394.9026(c)(1).
(3) On page 6, between lines 19 and 20, insert the following new subdivision and renumber subsequent subdivisions accordingly:
(4) "Maximum market rent" means, with respect to a particular income-restricted unit, the average annual rent charged for all non-income-restricted units in the development having the same or substantially similar floor plan as the income-restricted unit.
(4) On page 7, line 16, strike "rate".
(5) On page 8, line 20, strike "third" and substitute "first".
(6) On page 8, lines 25 and 26, strike "the development first achieves an occupancy rate of 90 percent" and substitute "construction first begins on the development".
(7) On page 9, strike lines 3 through 7 and substitute the following:
finance corporation user paid to each taxing unit authorized to impose ad valorem taxes on the applicable property for the applicable tax year an amount equal to that taxing unit's pro rata share of the rent reduction shortfall that exists based on the difference between the minimum rent reduction amount described by Paragraph (A) and the amount of actual rent reduction at the development in the preceding tax year;
(8) On page 12, lines 23 and 24, strike "Subsection (c)" each time it appears and substitute "Subsections (c)(1), (3), (4), and (5)" in each instance.
(9) On page 21, strike lines 22 through 27 and substitute the following:
Act is not eligible for an exemption under Section 394.905, Local Government Code, as amended by this Act, unless the housing finance corporation that owns the development and any housing finance corporation user, as defined by Section 394.9026, Local Government Code, as added by this Act, associated with the development come into compliance:
(1) not later than January 1, 2026, with Sections 394.9026(c)(6), (7), (8), and (9), Local Government Code, as added by this Act; and
(2) with Sections 394.9026(c)(1), (2), (3), (4), and (5), Local Government Code, as added by this Act, not later than the earlier of:
(A) the end of the 10th tax year following the effective date of this Act; or

(i) existing mortgage indebtedness of the development is refinanced;

(iii) a sale, conveyance, transfer or assignment, or series of sales, conveyances, transfers or assignments, results in a change in a majority of the beneficial ownership interests of any housing finance corporation user associated with the development.
Amendment No. 1 was adopted.

CSHB 21 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Collier raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 21 under Rule 8, Section 1(b), of the House Rules.
The speaker overruled the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Ms. Collier raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 21 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.
A housing finance corporation is given a period of time in Section 13(i) to comply with the new requirements of the bill. By its plain terms, this provision is a transition provision, and it does not independently impose, authorize, increase, or change a tax. And the chair is unable to find any language in the committee substitute where a tax is imposed, authorized, increased, or changed.
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.
Amendment No. 3
Representative M. González offered the following amendment to CSHB 21:
Amend CSHB 21 (house committee printing) by striking page 19, line 26, through page 20, line 6, and substituting the following:
(d) Subsection (a) does not apply to ad valorem taxes imposed on a multifamily residential development by:
(1) a conservation or reclamation district created under Section 52, Article III, or Section 59, Article XVI, Texas Constitution, that provides water, sewer, or drainage service to the development, unless the applicable corporation has entered into a written agreement with the district to make a payment to the district in lieu of taxation, in the amount specified in the agreement; or
(2) an emergency services district created under Chapter 775, Health and Safety Code, unless the applicable corporation has entered into a written agreement with the district to make a payment to the district in lieu of taxation, in the amount specified in the agreement.
Amendment No. 3 was adopted.
CSHB 21 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Dutton raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 21 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(1), of the House Rules.
The speaker overruled the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Dutton raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 21 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(1), on the grounds that the background and purpose statement in the bill analysis is substantially or materially misleading.
The background and purpose in part contains two uncontested factual statements. First, that HFCs operate outside the territorial jurisdiction of their sponsoring entities; and, second, that they remove property from local tax rolls. The further statement that there is a lack of a benefit to taxpayers or renters is a reasonable inference from these uncontested statements and explains the author's purpose for the bill. See 88 H. Jour. 4394 (2023). The legislative findings under Section 394.002, Local Government Code, simply state hoped-for benefits of establishing HFCs and do not mean that there is no basis for the opinion of the author. Any disagreement here is one of policy, not procedure.
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.
CSHB 21, as amended, was passed to engrossment by (Record 1968): 100 Yeas, 35 Nays, 2 Present, not voting.

Amendment No. 1
Representative J. Jones offered the following amendment to HB 2180:
Amend HB 2180 (house committee report) on page 3, between lines 13 and 14, by inserting the following:
(g) Notwithstanding any other provision of this article, a waiver executed under this article is void and unenforceable unless:
(1) the waiver is made in writing, in open court before a judge as part of the record and recorded by the court reporter, and signed by both the defendant and the defendant's attorney;
(2) the waiver is executed not earlier than the 120th day after the date the defendant enters a plea of guilty or no contendere;
(3) the defendant receives and signs an admonishment in plain language stating:
"Waiving your right to the preservation of evidence may severely limit your ability to win an appeal or seek post-conviction relief. It may result in the destruction of evidence that could have helped prove your innocence. Once destroyed, that evidence cannot be recovered."; and

HB 2734 ON SECOND READING
(by Holt, et al.)
HB 2734, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to public assistance program fraud; creating a criminal offense.
HB 2734 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Talarico raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 2734 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(1), of the House Rules.
The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Talarico raises a point of order against further consideration of HB 2734 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(1), on the grounds that the background and purpose statement in the bill analysis is substantially or materially misleading.
There are just two statements that relate to providing "background information on the proposal." The first is a vague statement that a local prosecutor made statements that fraud generally was occurring in a locality outside the prosecutor's jurisdiction. The chair notes that the bill is not bracketed or limited to that locality.
The other is a conclusory statement that the bill author informed the committee of a "general need to mitigate the potential damage to public assistance programs." Because neither statement provides any information specific to the proposed measure necessary to help members make an informed vote, they are substantially and materially misleading in purporting to provide the information required by the rule. See 88 H. Jour. 4394 (2023).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
HB 2734 was returned to the Committee on Human Services.
