GALLERY RECOGNITION
The chair recognized Representative Toth who addressed the house, speaking as follows:
I rise today with deep admiration for Dr. Mary Talley Bowden. For her selfless and extraordinary contributions to medicine, her selfless dedication to patient care, and her resolute defense of medical freedom during the COVID-19 pandemic that cost so many lives. Dr. Bowden is a board-certified ENT and sleep specialist from Houston. She currently serves as a senior fellow with the Independent Medical Alliance and as a member of the board of directors of the Vaccine Safety Research Foundation. At the core of Dr. Bowden's practice lies her steadfast adherence to the Hippocratic Oath, which calls on physicians to first, do no harm. During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, when fear and uncertainty overwhelmed our communities, Dr. Bowden embodied this oath by placing her patients' well-being above all else, even at the great personal and professional cost that continues for her to pay for today. She listened to her patients, studied emerging data, and made decisions based on what she believed was best for each individual patient. Dr. Bowden became a courageous advocate for early treatment and protocols, championing therapies like ivermectin and high doses of vitamins to combat the virus in its early stages.
Members, I want to take you back to that time. All of us lost somebody close to us. Whether it was a brother or a sister, a mother, a father, a grandparent, or a close person that we worked with. It was traumatic. We all know the pain of walking alongside somebody who lost someone really close to us because some of them were denied the life-saving treatment that she was offering. Yet through her tireless efforts, Dr. Bowden successfully treated over 6,000 COVID-19 patients, achieving a remarkable record of zero fatalities among those she served. Let that sink in a second. Six thousand patients—over 6,000 patients—and zero fatalities. That, members, is science. Each of these patients represents a family spared from a loss. Each is a testament of Dr. Bowden's commitment to doing what's right no matter the obstacles, no matter the criticism from the medical establishment.
The chair recognized Representative Luther who addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Dr. Bowden, you're my spirit animal. I know that sometimes you feel alone and you're looking around saying, "What is everybody doing? Why aren't more people standing up?" And I want you to know you're not alone in that. I know exactly what that feels like. But I want you to know that God surrounds you, he's proud of you for standing up, he will protect you, and you continue your obedience because that's what you're here on earth to do. You thought you were just going to be a doctor. And I don't mean "just a doctor"—because you've done amazing things—but God has big plans for you, and I'm so proud that you continue to stand firm for what you believe in. Thank you so much.
The chair recognized Representative Cain who addressed the house, speaking as follows:
Dr. Bowden, thank you. Thank you for your bravery. To the Texas Medical Board, you need to put an end to this. Stop being petty tyrants. Let her get back to her practice. Leave her and other doctors alone. Thank you.
The chair recognized Representative Toth who addressed the house, speaking as follows:
We owe a great debt of gratitude, and we are so grateful to you. We love you. And as Shelley shared earlier, you're in our prayers. We know God has yet to do some great things in and through your life and in your ministry. God bless you. Members, please join me in commending Dr. Bowden.

HB 127 ON THIRD READING

HB 127, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to measures to protect public institutions of higher education from foreign adversaries and to the prosecution of the criminal offense of theft of trade secrets; providing civil penalties; increasing a criminal penalty.
HB 127 - REMARKS
The chair recognized Representative Wu who addressed the house in favor of the bill, speaking as follows:
Yesterday, I had a lot of questions for Mr. Wilson. And I had a lot of issues with some of the parts of the bill. Right now, we don't have the time and the ability to deal with it at this very moment, but in talking to Representative Wilson and talking to the people who are working on this in the background—you know, I expressed to them that there is a lot of stuff in this bill that I think is actually very good and very smart. But there's some things in here that concern me because it could be abused and it could be used in nefarious ways.
Let me explain to you why I feel that way. Let me start off by saying that I think that dealing with our intellectual property, dealing with foreign agents and things like that is actually very important. I think there are a lot of bad actors out there who do seek to do our nation harm. I fully, fully understand that. However, for example, in the last Trump presidency, a program was initiated called the China Initiative. That was a program where President Trump asked that the FBI specifically target Chinese American scientists, doctors, and researchers. Over 3,000 Chinese Americans were specifically targeted and investigated, despite not having any allegations to begin with. Out of those 3,000 investigations, do you want to guess how many cases of espionage they prosecuted? Zero. These are 3,000 careers and lives destroyed. Because when the FBI raids you and takes your computers and talks to your bosses, you don't have a job anymore, even if you're cleared. And many of those scientists have chosen to give up their careers here, give up their lives here because they are basically told, "You're not wanted here." Our nation loses out on cancer researchers, biotech researchers, engineers, and people who are teaching our children. It was unnecessary.
The concern for this legislation is that it could be used in some of those ways. But talking to the people who are here working on it, talking to Mr. Wilson, I have faith and trust in their good intentions and what they seek to do. And they truly seek to not go after people because of race, because of ethnic origin but only do things that actually protect the state and protect our nation. I hope that we will continue working with them, and I ask you to have the same faith in them. I'm willing to take that chance and trust on their good faith.

CSHB 5151 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Canales raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 5151 under Rule 8, Section 1(b), of the House Rules and under Article III, Section 56, of the Texas Constitution 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 and that the proposed measure is impermissibly limited in application to one or more political subdivisions by means of artificial devices. The point of order was withdrawn.
(Rose and Tepper now present)
CSHB 5151 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Canales raised a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 5151 under Rule 11, Section 2, of the House Rules and under Article III, Section 30, of the Texas Constitution.
(Speaker in the chair)
The speaker sustained the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Canales raises a point of order against further consideration of CSHB 5151 under Article III, Section 30, Texas Constitution, and Rule 11, Section 2, on the grounds that the committee substitute is not germane to the original bill.
As introduced, the bill applied its provisions to "mines, quarries, or rock crushing facilities." The committee substitute applied its provisions to "facilit[ies] used for the production or crushing of aggregates". The bill author has the burden of proof, (87 H. Jour. 787-788 (2021); 87 H. Jour. 1585 (2021).) and he was unable to demonstrate that the class of facilities to which the bill applies was not impermissibly broadened. As recognized by the substitute's plain language, the production of aggregates is not the same as rock crushing. Thus, the substitute embraces a different class of facilities than that of the original. (See 87 H. Jour. 2181 (2021).) Because the constitutional germaneness rule cannot be suspended to remedy the error, (45 H. Jour. 767 (1937) as printed at H. Rules Manual pp. 207-208.; see 48 H. Jour. 887 (1943) as printed at H. Rules Manual p. 11) the house is precluded from further consideration of the bill.
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
Pursuant to Rule 4, Section 41, the chair directs the chief clerk to return the bill to the Committee on Calendars.
CSHB 5151 was returned to the Committee on Calendars.
(Vasut in the chair)
