REASON FOR VOTE
Representative Smithee submitted the following reason for vote to be printed in the journal:
I voted for HB 4623 (relating to liability of public schools and professional school employees for certain acts and omissions involving students) on second reading. We all condemn all forms of sexual and other abuse of students. And no one disputes that such acts should be punished and perpetrators should be held liable. But HB 4623 would only punish taxpayers––and not the actual perpetrators––by making them pay any judgment or settlement. Taxpayers are not responsible for the wrongful conduct and should not be required to pay the cost.

CSHB 1091 ON SECOND READING
(by Paul, et al.)
CSHB 1091, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to early voting and to related practices and procedures.
CSHB 1091 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Bucy raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 1091 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2), of the House Rules.
(Harris in the chair)
The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Bucy raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 1091 under Rule 4, Section 32(c)(2), on the grounds that the bill analysis is substantially or materially misleading.
The bill analysis states that the committee substitute establishes new requirements governing the process for counting late ballots voted by mail and it enumerates those requirements. However, at least two of the requirements are already current law: the requirement that an early voting ballot board report results to the local canvassing authority and the requirement for meeting on the next business day if a board would otherwise be required to meet on a Saturday, Sunday, or holiday. Since these requirements are not established by the bill, the bill analysis is substantially and materially misleading. See 79 H. Jour. 2481-2482 (2005).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
CSHB 1091 was returned to the Committee on Elections.
COMMITTEE GRANTED PERMISSION TO MEET
