Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now

Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now

https://lrl.texas.gov/scanned/87ccrs/hb1927.pdf Committee report is available. It looks like all of the Senate amendments made it through unchanged with the notable exceptions of: Expungement added back in and cleaned up to only apply to violations of 46.02 as it was prior to September 1, 2021.

Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now

Any updates on this? As of today, there are only 7 bills that have had conference committees appointed for them. This includes the general appropriations bill and HB 1927. I very strongly believe that we will not see much external action on any of these bills until the last 5 days of the session wh...

No, and we won't likely hear much until the last few days of the session as the House is busy now working on Senate bills and the Senate is largely busy working on all the bills that have been passed by the House.

Re: Did HB 1407 Die

Did HB 1407 die? It looked like it was moving along nicely and seems to have died at the 1 yard line. Made it through the house and then senate committee and onto the intent calendar. It didn't get the the general calendar and now has been dropped from the intent. Bill Summary: It has been noted th...

Re: HB 1927 on the Senate floor now

House refuses to concur with all of the Senate amendments. House has appointed conferees.

This is playing out exactly as I have predicted multiple times. Still plenty of time left in the session to get this over the finish line.
