HB 1403 ON THIRD READING
(by Harris, Manuel, Spiller, et al.)
HB 1403, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the collection and confidentiality of information regarding firearms in agency foster homes; creating a civil penalty.
HB 1403 - STATEMENT OF LEGISLATIVE INTENT
REPRESENTATIVE WU: I apologize. I know this is not your layout. I just have some quick legislative intent questions.
REPRESENTATIVE MANUEL: Sure.
WU: Is this legislation intended to prevent HHSC from upholding their current minimum standards required by federal law for the safety standards of the foster homes?
MANUEL: No, it does not at all. HHSC doesn't require any of this information right now at all by the state.
WU: As a part of the current foster home application, you are required to disclose what kind of weapons you have in the home as a safety concern—whether those weapons are secured, whether they're locked, and whether ammunition is readily available. Is CPS—is DFPS going to continue—would they be able to continue asking those questions?
MANUEL: Yes.
WU: And it is not the intent of this bill to prevent that?
MANUEL: No. The intent of this legislation is to not allow third-party individuals to have serial numbers, to have private information from Texas citizens that could be released out to someone else without their knowledge. And also, currently, the State of Texas does not mandate that any of this at all is even within HHSC. It's not even a part of HHSC's adoption. This is not a part of anyone else. This is just individual third-party people who are currently taking this information. And we're trying to protect people's information on this one, for safety reasons as well as safety concerns and data.
WU: So to be clear, the legislative intent of this bill is not to affect anything in the application process or standards of safety within the home. It is purely about data that they should not be collecting in the first place?
MANUEL: Absolutely. Yes, sir.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
REPRESENTATIVE MONEY: Are you aware that there are 152 democratic bills on today's calendar while our republican priority legislation is stuck in committee?
CHAIR (Harris in the chair): That is not a proper parliamentary inquiry.
MONEY: Mr. Speaker, is it your discretion whether to recognize motions to reconsider?
CHAIR: Yes, it is. Ms. Hernandez gave the proper notice required.
MONEY: On now three separate occasions today, we have received notice that we will spend some of our limited remaining time to reconsider democratic bills that have already been defeated by this body and doing so leaves us less time to work on legislation that matters to all of our districts. Is there anything in the rules that requires the speaker to recognize a motion to reconsider?
CHAIR: No, sir. You are welcome to vote against the motion.
MONEY: Are bills allowed to fail in this body or are we going to reconsider every bill that gets defeated and lose time that we could be spending on bills that have a chance to pass?
CHAIR: Mr. Money, that is a hypothetical inquiry that I am not going to respond to.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
REPRESENTATIVE TINDERHOLT: During the budget debate, a lot of amendments were moved as a batch. Do the rules allow for a batch of bills to be moved to, say, 10 a.m. tomorrow?
SPEAKER BURROWS: Not without suspending the rules, Mr. Tinderholt.
TINDERHOLT: So if there was a motion made to, say, move 10, 12, or 20 bills to 10 a.m. tomorrow, it is allowed within the rules, but we would just have to suspend the rules?
SPEAKER: You would have to suspend the rules.
TINDERHOLT: We would have to get that suspension done through the speaker. Is that correct?
SPEAKER: That is correct.

Amendment No. 1
Representatives Dorazio, Cortez, Martinez Fischer, Lujan, and Bernal offered the following amendment to CSHB 2786:
Amend CSHB 2786 (house committee report) by adding the following appropriately numbered SECTIONS to the bill and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
SECTION ____. Section 23.01(e), Tax Code, is amended to read as follows:
(e) Notwithstanding any provision of this subchapter to the contrary, if the appraised value of property in a tax year is lowered under Subtitle F or by a written agreement between the property owner or the owner's agent and the appraisal district under Section 1.111(e), the appraised value of the property as finally determined under that subtitle or by the agreement is considered to be the appraised value of the property for that tax year. In the next tax year in which the property is appraised, the chief appraiser may not increase the appraised value of the property unless the increase by the chief appraiser is reasonably supported by clear and convincing evidence when all of the reliable and probative evidence in the record is considered as a whole. If the appraised value is finally determined in a protest under Section 41.41(a)(2) or an appeal under Section 42.26, the chief appraiser may satisfy the requirement to reasonably support by clear and convincing evidence an increase in the appraised value of the property in the next tax year in which the property is appraised by presenting evidence showing that the inequality in the appraisal of property has been corrected with regard to the properties that were considered in determining the value of the subject property. The burden of proof is on the chief appraiser to support an increase in the appraised value of property under the circumstances described by this subsection.
SECTION ____. Section 23.01(e), Tax Code, as amended by this Act, applies only to the appraisal of property for a tax year that begins on or after the effective date of this Act.
Amendment No. 1 was adopted.
Amendment No. 2
Representative Lowe offered the following amendment to CSHB 2786:
Amend CSHB 2786 (house committee report) as follows:

(2) On page 2, strike lines 2 and 3 and substitute the following:
SECTION 2. Section 25.18, Tax Code, is amended by adding Subsections (a-1), (b-1), (b-2), and (b-3) and amending Subsection (b) to read as follows:
(3) On page 2, line 7, between "year" and the underlined period, insert ", except as provided by Subsections (b-1), (b-2), and (b-3)".
(4) On page 2, between lines 9 and 10, insert the following:
(b) The plan shall provide for the following reappraisal activities for all real and personal property in the district at least once every three years, except as provided by Subsections (b-1), (b-2), and (b-3):
(1) identifying properties to be appraised through physical inspection or by other reliable means of identification, including deeds or other legal documentation, aerial photographs, land-based photographs, surveys, maps, and property sketches;
(2) identifying and updating relevant characteristics of each property in the appraisal records;
(3) defining market areas in the district;
(4) identifying property characteristics that affect property value in each market area, including:
(A) the location and market area of property;
(B) physical attributes of property, such as size, age, and condition;
(C) legal and economic attributes; and
(D) easements, covenants, leases, reservations, contracts, declarations, special assessments, ordinances, or legal restrictions;
(5) developing an appraisal model that reflects the relationship among the property characteristics affecting value in each market area and determines the contribution of individual property characteristics;
(6) applying the conclusions reflected in the model to the characteristics of the properties being appraised; and
(7) reviewing the appraisal results to determine value.
(b-1) The plan shall provide for the reappraisal of a residence homestead not more often than once every three years. The appraised value of a residence homestead may not be increased for a tax year in which the property is not appraised.
(b-2) Subsection (b-1) does not prohibit the reappraisal of a residence homestead in the tax year in which a limitation on appraised value under Section 23.23(a) expires.
(b-3) Notwithstanding Subsection (b-1), at any time during a tax year before the date the chief appraiser certifies the appraisal roll for the appraisal district, an owner of a residence homestead is entitled to a reappraisal of the owner's residence homestead for that year on written request delivered to the chief appraiser.
Amendment No. 2 - Point of Order
Representative Moody raised a point of order against further consideration of Amendment No. 2 under Rule 11, Section 3, of the House Rules on the grounds that the amendment changes the original purpose of the bill.

CSHB 2587, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to an annual report on the financial impact on hospitals for providing certain uncompensated care.
CSHB 2587 was read second time earlier today and was postponed until this time.
CSHB 2587 - POINT OF ORDER

CSHB 2587 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Martinez Fischer raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 2587 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules.
MESSAGE FROM THE SENATE
A message from the senate was received at this time (see the addendum to the daily journal, Messages from the Senate, Message No. 1).
CSHB 2587 - (consideration continued)
The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Martinez Fischer raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 2587 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), on the grounds that the caption of the bill fails to give reasonable notice of the subject of the bill.
The caption states that the bill "relat[es] to an annual report on the financial impact on hospitals for providing certain uncompensated care." The bill's requirements are solely concerned with the collection and reporting of information related to persons who are not lawfully present in this country. The bill's caption does not give notice that its provisions are concerned solely with this single, discrete class of persons and the related duties imposed on patients and hospitals. See 74 H. Jour. 2186 (1995).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
CSHB 2587 was returned to the Committee on Public Health.
COMMITTEE GRANTED PERMISSION TO MEET
Representative Patterson requested permission for the Committee on Local and Consent Calendars to meet while the house is in session, at 7 p.m. today, in 3W.15, to consider set a local, consent, and resolutions calendar.

HB 497 ON SECOND READING
(by Patterson, Isaac, and Spiller)
HB 497, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to requiring parental consent for behavioral or mental health treatment by school district personnel.
HB 497 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Talarico raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 497 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules. The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Talarico raises a point of order against further consideration of HB 497 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), on the grounds that the caption of the bill fails to give reasonable notice of the subject of the bill.
The bill's caption states that it "relat[es] to requiring parental consent for behavioral or mental health treatment by school district personnel." As commonly understood, the terms behavioral or mental health describe conditions such as depression, anxiety, or alcohol or drug dependency. The bill's provisions relating to providing contraception or information materials related to family planning and human sexuality are not the class embraced by the caption. The author acknowledged this distinction during his opening remarks in which he stated that the bill expressly related to providing information or treatment. Thus, the caption fails to provide reasonable notice of the subject of the bill. See 89 H. Jour. ____-____ (2025).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
HB 497 was returned to the Committee on Public Education.

PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
REPRESENTATIVE TINDERHOLT: Is it fair to say, Mr. Speaker, that two democratic bills were reconsidered and one republican bill today—that are being reconsidered?
CHAIR (Harris in the chair): Yes.
REPRESENTATIVE CAIN: Just to clarify, is the motion to reconsider a vote considered a privilege motion?
CHAIR: No.
CAIN: Okay, thank you. And does the speaker have discretion in recognizing a member to make a motion to reconsider a vote?
CHAIR: Yes.
CAIN: And if the speaker decides not to recognize a member to make a motion, is that decision of a recognition appealable?
CHAIR: No.
CAIN: Okay, so to be clear, the speaker has sole discretion on whether they recognize a member to make this motion, and if the speaker abuses that discretion, it is not appealable. So the chair, rather, is in complete control over the recognition of motions, is that correct?
(Speaker in the chair)
CHAIR: State your inquiry.
CAIN: I will restate it. Would you like me to start back over, sir? How about where we left off? So I was just asking for clarification that it is solely within the speaker's discretion to recognize a member to make a motion to reconsider, is that correct?
CHAIR: That has been asked and answered when Mr. Harrison asked.
CAIN: But also at the same time—so we can appeal that ruling, is that correct as well?
CHAIR: That has also been asked and answered.

ADDRESS BY REPRESENTATIVE THOMPSON
The chair recognized Representative Thompson who addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Mr. Speaker and members, I've been privileged to be in this house for about 53 years—not because I didn't have anything else to do; I just loved it so much. And I've had that privilege of working with some of the most wonderful persons that this state could ever send to this august body. Each of you has been privileged to sit in one of the most prestigious bodies in the world: the Texas Legislature. Each of you ran; you had elections—but there were certain things that you left on the battlefield when your election was over with. When you ran against a democrat or republican and that election was over with—you won—all of that dead stuff remained there, and it buried itself.
We are grown people—adults here—with serious issues to be resolved. There's no room for name-calling, bashing, dropping people in the grease—whether it's in this body or whether it's on the Internet or Twitter. Because the people are pulling for you and dependent upon you to solve their issues, to come home and tell them that you brought the bacon home with you—the bacon of resolving issues. Those kitchen-table issues that we wrestle with. You're human. I recognize that, and you do too. You get angry. You get PO'ed. We tell each other off. But we do it in an adult-like manner. When all of this is brushed aside, we're friends. We're family. We're one body working together to solve the people's problems because they know that they have sent the best here in this body. I hate to see anybody tarnish this room with negative thoughts, dispositions, and attitudes. And I hate to think of anybody insulting another person because of their ideology. I disagree with so many of you in this room, and you disagree with me, as well. But we do it in an adult-like manner.
We have a few days remaining to finish up the people's business. Let's take this time—when we walk through that door, walk with the Holy Spirit, and let him guide us and do God's work. Let's get that work done. He's depending upon us. He's blessed us every day to get up to come here, with life, with intelligence. And look, we live in a country with liberty, with justice, with freedom. The ability to live where you want to live, have what you want to have, and the ability to love and have peace and joy and worship. What else could you ask for? We live in all of the best of worlds. So I'm going to ask you tonight: All of those little bitty, wee-wee feelings that you've been having, bury them. Dismiss them. Roll your sleeves back up, and let's get to work in solving the people's problems. Thank you.
REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED
Representative Martinez Fischer moved to print remarks by Representative Thompson.

HB 1586 ON SECOND READING
(by Hull, McQueeney, Bonnen, Leach, Capriglione, et al.)
HB 1586, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to an exemption from required immunizations for school enrollment.
(Harris in the chair)
HB 1586 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Bryant raised a point of order against further consideration of HB 1586 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules.
(Speaker in the chair)
The speaker overruled the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Bryant raises a point of order against further consideration of HB 1586 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), on the grounds that the caption of the bill fails to give reasonable notice of the subject of the bill.
The bill's caption states that it "relat[es] to an exemption from required immunizations for school enrollment." The bill requires the Department of State Health Services to develop and post on the Internet a blank affidavit form for a person to claim an immunization exemption. The bill also makes changes to current law relating to security devices on the affidavit and the maintenance of records on use and access of the form. All these changes are tied to the exemption affidavit. Therefore, all elements of the bill fall within the subject described in the caption. See 89 H. Jour. ____ (2025) (ruling on SB 14 Bryant caption point of order).
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.
LEAVE OF ABSENCE GRANTED
The following member was granted leave of absence for the remainder of today because of illness:
Olcott on motion of Tinderholt.
