Re: SB 2065 - Conference Committee Report Filed - PASSED

The Governor's website lists bills he has signed here: https://gov.texas.gov/news/category/signature-statement

Bills vetoed here: https://gov.texas.gov/news/category/leg ... -statement (Altho there are a number of bills listed as vetoed, so far they all appear to be from last session.)

Bills filed with no signature: https://gov.texas.gov/news/category/leg ... -signature (again, nothing from current legislature as of this posting.)

Re: SB 2065 - Conference Committee Report Filed - PASSED

"...on the premises of a church, synagogue, or other established place of religious worship."

So if the church holds a social on the grounds of a local park, it sounds like they would not be able to use their volunteer security team because a) it is not an "established place of worship" and b) it's a social not "religious worship" (or is it?)?

If they throw up a tent in park and hold revival services for a week, does that qualify as an "established place of religious worship?"

I think it is good that this bill passed, I don't think the security company lobby should have a monopoly on providing security in this state, but I hope we don't hear anymore harrumphing against "carve outs" for emergency services personnel and the like, because this bill is certainly establishes a big "carve-out". :)
