Long and short:
House concurs with Senate changes, on to the governor.
House doesn't concur, conference committee hashes out differences. BOTH chambers must approve conference committee changes for it to go on to the governor, if not bill is dead.

Aw, I couldn't find that in a hurry, thanks for the link. Hopefully the RINOs will still vote for whatever comes out and they can still hide behind the committee.

If it doesn't get out of conference before the session ends, it's also dead. There won't be a special session for this bill.

Is there someplace where we can review these amendments that are causing concern?

I read them, and some seemed pretty bad... especailly those related to new notifications verbal and any sign, churches and hospitals being automatically banned without signage... can't find the article now...

Passed Senate!

The amendments are a poison pill. The house may end up running out the clock.

“No celebration yet folks! We are now reviewing amendments that were added by the Senate to look for issues that would break House rules governing the purpose of HB 1927,” said State Rep. Matt Schaefer, R-Tyler, who authored the legislation, in a tweet Wednesday night. “Our first impression has us very concerned. Will share more as soon as we can.”
