The 21 vote rule in the Senate requires 21 votes to suspend the regular order of business and take something out of order.

In other words, every bill that is considered in the Senate is taken "out of order."
I was worried that my reporting sources missed something and that the bill status page was wrong. SB481 shows to have been placed on the Intent Calendar twice, meaning the author intended to move to suspend the regular order of business to consider SB481. Sen. Hinojosa withdrew it, and it hasn't been placed back on the Intent Calendar.
Thanks,

Thank God. That took a load out of my mind. Always wondered what was the official cobbler of TX. Glad the legislature addressed this important issue. Not like they had anything more important to vote on, you know, like Campus Carry, Open Carry, etc. Keep up the good work. We could not live without your wisdom.cmwoodruff wrote:My favorite...

Designating peach cobbler as the official cobbler of Texas.
Keep up the good fight!
You didn't realize that the Texas Legislature was the inspiration for the Comedy Channel? Maybe Trivial Pursuit as well.....JJVP wrote:Thank God. That took a load out of my mind.

Of course this begs the question, Charles, why bother having a Regular Order of Business Calendar if the regular order of business is to simply ignore it?Charles L.

It will be coming up for debate only when it appears on the Intent Calendar. Even then it must get 21 votes to be heard.
