SB 552 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Martinez Fischer raised a point of order against further consideration of SB 552 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules.
(Landgraf in the chair)
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 SB 552 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 changing the eligibility of certain persons to receive community supervision, including deferred adjudication community supervision[.]” The bill’s provisions are solely concerned with the eligibility of persons who are classified by the bill as “illegal aliens.” The bill’s caption does not give notice that its provisions are concerned solely with this single, discrete class of persons and thus it does not comply with the rule. See 89 H. Jour. 4035-4036 (citing 74 H.J. Reg. 2186 (1995)).
Accordingly, the point of order is well-taken and sustained.
SB 552 was returned to the Committee on Corrections.
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. 2).

SENATE BILLS
SECOND READING
The following bills were laid before the house and read second time:
CSSB 15 ON SECOND READING
(Gates - House Sponsor)
CSSB 15, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to size and density requirements for residential lots in certain municipalities; authorizing a fee.
Amendment No. 1
Representative Gates offered the following amendment to CSSB 15:
Amend CSSB 15 (house committee report) as follows:
(1) On page 2, line 13, strike "map or".
(2) On page 3, line 8, strike "1,400" and substitute "3,000".
(3) On page 3, line 9, strike "20" and substitute "30".
(4) On page 3, line 10, strike "60" and substitute "75".
(5) On page 3, lines 11-13, strike "on a residential lot, a ratio of dwelling units per acre that results in fewer than 31.1 units per acre." and substitute "in a residential development, a ratio of dwelling units per acre that prevents a single-family home from being built on a residential lot that is at least 3,000 square feet.".
(6) On page 3, line 15, strike "Subsection (c)" and substitute "this section".
(7) On page 3, line 17, strike ", waterway, plane," and substitute "plane".
(8) On page 3, strike line 19, and substitute "(A) 15 feet from the front or 10 feet from the back of the".
(9) On page 4, between lines 7 and 8, insert the following:
(a-1) Notwithstanding Subsection (a)(1), a municipality may require with respect to a small lot a setback related to environmental features, erosion, or waterways, to the extent authorized by federal or other state law.
(10) On page 4, line 9, strike "or".
(11) On page 4, line 12, between "residence" and the underlined period, insert the following:
; or
(3) impact fees, to the extent authorized by Chapter 395
(12) On page 4, line 19, strike "This" and substitute "Except as expressly provided by this subchapter, this".
CSSB 15 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Gervin-Hawkins raised a point of order against further consideration of CSSB 15 under Rule 6, Section 7(a)(2), of the House Rules.
The speaker overruled the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Ms. Gervin-Hawkins raises a point of order against further consideration of CSSB 15 under Rule 6, Section 7(a)(2), on the grounds that the bill is not eligible for placement on the Major State Calendar.
Ms. Gervin-Hawkins argues that since the bill is limited in application by classification schemes employing one or more criteria, it cannot be placed on the Major State Calendar. The chair notes that the rule does not prohibit any bill that employs a classification scheme from being placed on the Major State Calendar. The rule requires that such a bill establish or change “a major field of governmental activity” and have major statewide impact. This bill is a major reform of state land-use law and will have major implications for housing and economic activity throughout the state. Additionally, Rule 6, Section 25, gives the Committee on Calendars “wide discretion” in choosing which calendar it will place a bill on. Cf. 80 H. Jour. 3317-3319 (2007).
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.

SB 1055 ON SECOND READING
(Ashby - House Sponsor)
SB 1055, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to permit fees for groundwater wells imposed by the Southeast Texas Groundwater Conservation District.
Amendment No. 1
Representative Isaac offered the following amendment to SB 1055:
Amend SB 1055 (house committee report) on page 1 by striking lines 7 and 8 and substituting the following:
(c) A [The] fee imposed under this section must be, by rate or in total, in an amount equal to or as similar to as possible any equivalent fee charged by the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District [may not exceed one cent per thousand gallons of groundwater withdrawn for any purpose].
AMENDMENT NO. 1 - REMARKS
REPRESENTATIVE ISAAC: Members, this amendment seeks to create equity in the funding of our GCDs across Texas. This amendment will tie the amount that a South Texas groundwater conservation district may charge to that of the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. This will give a groundwater district that is not in my district the same amount of tax increase that was thought to be okay in the district that I serve without my consent. I suggest we let members of the house and the senate represent the areas they were elected to serve.
Representative Ashby, I am so glad you were able to work with your constituents and not have a backdoor, un-vetted amendment that heavily taxed your constituents and steps on their private property rights rammed through against the wishes of your constituents and yourself. I wish you would have supported me in my efforts to do the same, and I withdraw my amendment.
Amendment No. 1 was withdrawn.

SB 1758 ON SECOND READING
(Landgraf - House Sponsor)
SB 1758, A bill to be entitled An Act relating to the operation of a cement kiln and the production of aggregates near a semiconductor wafer manufacturing facility.
SB 1758 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Wu raised a point of order against further consideration of SB 1758 under Rule 8, Section 1(a)(1), of the House Rules on the grounds that the caption fails to give reasonable notice of the subject of the proposed measure. The point of order was withdrawn.
SB 1758 - POINT OF ORDER
Representative Wu raised a point of order against further consideration of SB 1758 under Rule 8, Section 10(b), of the House Rules. The speaker overruled the point of order, announcing his decision to the house as follows:
Mr. Wu raises a point of order against further consideration of SB 1758 under Rule 8, Section 10(b), on the grounds that the bill is impermissibly limited in application to one or more political subdivisions by means of artificial devices.
The bill has provisions that apply to only one particular area of the state. However, the bill author met his burden in showing that this area is a unique area for the development of advanced wafer manufacturing, an industry of statewide importance, and thus the bill employs a reasonable classification scheme. See 76 H. Jour. 1761 (1999); see also City of Irving v. Dallas/Fort Worth Intl. Airport Bd., 894 S.W.2d 456, 467 (Tex. App.—Fort Worth 1995, writ denied) (finding legislature’s classification scheme reasonable in light of the “statewide importance of the facility” embraced by the bill).
Accordingly, the point of order is respectfully overruled.
SB 1758 was passed to third reading by (Record 3796): 108 Yeas, 28 Nays, 3 Present, not voting.
