Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

SB 1581 killed by Davis on POO this time, even without campuscarry
LOTS of Representatives has "other subject" Amendments they wanted to add ... class sizes, special "gifts" for each one's own ISD in their district etc ...
Davis killed it anyway

Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

ok now this is almost funny... in the House minutes ago
Aycock wants to delay SB1581 -- education fiscal matters -- until 8 p.m.
@quorumreport: Looks like we may be postponing SB 1581 to 8 p.m.
At least 68 amendments on SB 1581.
postponed until 8 p.m. today.

Turner: "I don't want to get us to 12, 1 o'clock at night, and get into a rush, and cut off discussion" on SB 1581.

Aycock and Turner arguing now

Rep. Aycock says he will not speculate on whether the debate will start at 8 pm or be pushed back again. He says it depends on negotiations.

Turner-Most important bill of session after Budget.Funding

Worried about Changing the school formula :mrgreen: (de-fund them I say !!! lol )

Postponed ... over Turner's objection to postpone :lol: Turner deserves to sweat some now.

Don't be surprised if SB 1581 never comes up. The conference comm can add parts they want to 1811 through a privileged resolution. #txlege

Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

I'm watching Senate ... where Wentworth is really ticking off Davis and the anti-gun ppl Davis, and some others are all red and voice shaky angry,

Wentworth is like "Hey, you played parliamentary games with me, it's karma; now you risk getting screwed" (my paraphrase) Dewhurst pretty much using his gavel to also say the same thing.

They are taking SB 1581 back to 2nd reading instead of third ... so Davis is really angry taking it back to simple majority vote instead of super majority vote ... risking changing formula funding schools

They are discussing SB 22; SB 5 and SB 1518

motion to reconsider each deal ...

Democrats have expressed concern that if they pull down too many amendments, it gives Republicans more time to pass stuff Ds oppose.

I've been taking care of a sick niece all day; just got online, was about to write them all asking for them to de-fund schools.. decided to look in

I though you could suspend the two subject rule with a supermajority vote. Did we not have votes?

It just goes to show that sadly emotion and fear mongering trumps logic and evidence :confused5
I didn't hear it go to a vote no motion to suspend the rule... Who's sleeping down there? :headscratch :grumble :mad5

Re: HB 3639 - SB 1581

SB 5 passed with added amendments the Senate must approve else conference committee

SB 1581 busted for concealed carry and returned to Senate, but the fiscal matters in it can go in SB 1811, Villarreal says 1581 won't matter


There's more than a few pretty upset Republican Representatives on the floor



HB 1811 Postponed until 2pm Friday.

Right now legislators things it's perfectly fine for them to carry anywhere they want, but the common people can't be trusted to be responsible. It's a sad day for Texas, but perhaps it's better that the crippled version of campus carry that was in SB 1581 be killed so that we can get true campus carry for all Texans, no matter what type of university they attend. We clearly have a lot of work to do to get people to understand why carry matters, why self defense matters and why logic should rule the day rather than childish emotions.

It's now clear that I will never be able to carry at work before I retire.
