SB11 & HB910 This week....

[joe817]

Connie Burton just announced they are waiting on an amendment. Guess it ain't over after all.

Sometimes I think they are just "waiting" for a "time" for a bill to "become eligible" ... or they went for ice cream

There was complimentary ice cream "Texas Store" flavor exclusive to House of Reps with pecan praline, vanilla, fudge swirl in the House ... " onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Not Blue Bell, but to stave off cravings

Yea, I seen that...priorities priorities

What amendments might those be.......

[joe817]

Idk about ya'll, but I tend to think the Lt. Gov. is going to be the one at the podium when HB910 is called.

I had that same thought, & I agree.

Well back to Dan Patrick as Speaker, and they've moved back to the Intent agenda(calendar). Talking about HB7 right now.

[Outnumbered]

Is there a link to the bills as they come up and the amendments as they are proposed? I remember someone posting a similar link for one of the house sessions.

Thanks.

edited for spelling.

Type in the bill number in the search box in middle of screen & it takes you to that bill. On the tabs is the Amendment section.

Wish I could vote to close the doors before scheduled closing hours at my work

done deal, looks like Friday will be the day. I hope!

Looks like the Senate is considering bills on their "Notice of Intent", aka intent calendar as I call it.

Maybe HB 910 WILL be heard today.

It's not eligible until tomorrow (Friday).

Blade, I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm a layperson on all this legislative stuff.
However, HB3236 was just heard, it came out of committee on 5/19 as well. just an observation.

I do see that HB3236 was distributed around noon and HB910 came out a around 5:45, that may be the kicker.
Prolly missed the cutoff time. Been waiting for a few years now for this bill what's another day

Yes, the cutoff is 3 PM.

I agree....under regular Senate Rules. But the Senate can suspend the 3 day rule, and vote to suspend the rule for the 2nd & 3rd reading. The Senate has done that several times today. And passed those bills.

Note: As I understand it.

We're not talking about the constitutional three-day rule; we're talking about the rules concerning the Senate Intent Calendar. Until the 130th day of the session (Friday, May 22), a bill cannot be heard until its second day on the Senate Intent Calendar. Today was HB 910's first day on the Senate Intent Calendar.

Suspending the Intent Calendar rule requires the consent of four-fifths of the Senators present (25 Senators if all 31 are present).

Heading back to the Capitol later.

Guess we'll find out if there will be an amendment to HB910, and if so, what it is...

C'mon SB11 !
