I pray today for these who come to labor for the people of the great State of Texas, who recognize that this is a gift from God to lead by example in word and deed in order that they may make a pathway for a bright future. I pray for these men and women who are leading this state to be led by the spirit of wisdom, integrity, compassion, humility, courage, and righteousness.

Some examples of noteworthy women that have influenced Texas history are:

4 944 85th LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION Annie Webb Blanton an educator and suffragist who became the first Texas woman elected into office when she became the state superintendent of public instruction in 1918; Bessie Coleman an aviation pioneer who became the first African American woman to receive a pilot s license in 1922; Rebecca Flores Harrington the daughter of migrant workers who was the first in her family to attend college. After graduating from the University of Michigan, Rebecca dedicated herself to organizing farmer unions and eventually became the head of the Texas chapter for the United Farm Workers movement; Frances "Poppy" Northcutt the first female engineer to work in NASA s Mission Control. Poppy also served as president of the Houston chapter of the National Organization for Women; BeyoncéiKnowles the musician, who after leaving hit pop group Destiny s Child, built an even larger global solo career. Beyoncéihas also established herself as a business mogul and cultural icon while embracing feminism and her hometown of Houston; and Barbara Bush daughter of former president George W. Bush, who cofounded the Global Health Corps. At age 26, Barbara also became chief executive of the Leadership Development Organization, which focuses on global health equity. I ask for you all to take time not just in the remainder of the month of March but throughout the entire year to celebrate the contributions already made by women, recognize the women that are currently hard at work fighting for women s rights, and encourage future generations of women to uphold, promote, and fight for the values Texas women have worked so hard to create. In the words of the late and great Ann Richards, let us all remember that, "Ginger Rogers did everything that Fred Astaire did. She just did it backwards and in high heels."

(Speaker in the chair) SB 1 - COMMITTEE ON CALENDARS RULE ADOPTED Pursuant to Rule 3, Section 4(2) and Rule 6, Section 16(f) of the House Rules, Representative Hunter moved to adopt the following rule governing floor consideration for SB 1: Section 1. All original amendments that will be offered during second reading consideration of the bill must be filed with the chief clerk by 10 a.m. on Monday, April 3. Section 2. (a) During second and third reading consideration of the bill, any amendment that adds or increases an item of appropriation in the bill made from general revenue or a general revenue-dedicated account is not in order unless the amendment contains an equal or greater reduction in one or more items of appropriation in the bill from general revenue or from a general revenue-dedicated account, regardless of whether the general revenue-dedicated account is subject to certification. (b) During second and third reading consideration of the bill, any amendment that adds or increases an item of appropriation in the bill made from the economic stabilization fund is not in order unless the amendment contains an equal or greater reduction in one or more items of appropriation in the bill from the economic stabilization fund. (c) The provisions of this section do not apply to an amendment that makes an adjustment in an item of appropriations solely to correct a technical clerical error.

7 Thursday, March 30, 2017 HOUSE JOURNAL 42nd Day 947 PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY REPRESENTATIVE TURNER: Chairman Hunter, you ve explained all this very well, I think, for the body, and I just want to further explore a couple of things. The first component of this calendar rule is that all amendments must be prefiled with the clerk s office by 10ia.m. this coming Monday because in the House Rules, it s a 72-hour layout. REPRESENTATIVE HUNTER: That is correct. TURNER: To your point about the clerk being available through the weekend typically, the legislative council is also available to help members draft amendments. Do we believe that to be the case? HUNTER: Let me get clarification. SPEAKER STRAUS: Members, regarding the drafting and filing of your amendments to SBi1 and HBi2: The office of the comptroller can be reached at , the Legislative Budget Board can be reached at , and TLC bill drafting can be reached using LDR or called at Additionally, the chief clerk s office will be open this week for regular business hours and on Sunday from 6 p.m. to 9 p.m. so that you can file your amendments. And the deadline is Monday at 10 a.m. TURNER: Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for that additional information. Chairman Hunter, the part that we really have to vote on today pertains to the put and take rule, is that correct? HUNTER: Correct. TURNER: And this is something that the house has done by tradition or by practice for some time, is that accurate? HUNTER: Yes, correct. TURNER: And the rule simply says that if you are going to propose to cut something in the budget or, excuse me, if you are going to propose to make an expenditure in the appropriations bill, you have to reduce by the same amount a different area of the appropriations bill. HUNTER: That s correct. TURNER: And that can be done across articles, is that correct? HUNTER: That s correct. TURNER: So someone could propose an additional expenditure in ArticleiIIIiand take it from ArticleiIitheoretically. HUNTER: Yes. TURNER: And the same put and take rule under this calendar rule will apply to the economic stabilization fund. HUNTER: Yes.

8 948 85th LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION TURNER: So even though we know there is roughly $10ibillion in the economic stabilization fund, it s the amount that is appropriated or proposed to be appropriated in SBi1 that s the amount that members have to work within. HUNTER: Correct, and that specific amount will be laid out by the Appropriations chair so you have the specific amount. REPRESENTATIVE FALLON: I have a quick question about the put and take. I understand how it works as far as if I had an amendment that was going to cost an additional $30imillion, I have to take it from something else, is that correct? HUNTER: Correct. FALLON: What if I had an amendment that would just take? Do we have to put it somewhere or we just take it out for GR purposes? HUNTER: The answer is, you can take. You can reduce. You can reduce, and then you re not required to add, but if you do add, you re going to have to reduce. REPRESENTATIVE SCHAEFER: Chairman Hunter, you said that the put and take rule will also apply to the rainy day fund portion, correct? HUNTER: Yes. SCHAEFER: Does that mean that we can reduce the amount taken from the economic stabilization fund without adding back in? HUNTER: Yes. SCHAEFER: Okay. Does the put and take rule prevent an amendment presented as a complete substitute? HUNTER: Complete substitute of what? SCHAEFER: For the bill. HUNTER: If it falls within the put and take, it would fall in the rule. As long as you re following put and take on your amendment, whatever it does, it would be in compliance. SCHAEFER: Let me clarify that, Mr. Chairman. So if a complete substitute spent less money than HBi1, would that amendment be in order under the put and take rule? HUNTER: The parliamentarian would have to rule on the substance. This amendment only deals with putting and taking. Under substance, that s not what this amendment is, and I m not the right person to ask that. SCHAEFER: Mr. Speaker, does the put and take rule being proposed on the budget preclude a complete substitute being offered? SPEAKER: No. REPRESENTATIVE LEACH: I want to just be clear under what rule the calendar rule motion is being made. Rulei11, Sectioni6(h), just so we understand on a general appropriations bill, all amendments have to be submitted by "72ihours

9 Thursday, March 30, 2017 HOUSE JOURNAL 42nd Day 949 prior to the time the calendar on which the general appropriations bill appears for second reading." Is that correct? And that s where we are getting the 10ia.m. on Monday? SPEAKER: That s correct, Mr. Leach. LEACH: So Chairman Hunter s motion on the table for consideration at this time is to adopt the calendar rule pursuant to the House Rules, that all amendments have to be submitted all amendments to SBi1 and the supplemental or just SBi1 have to be submitted by 10ia.m. on Monday morning? HUNTER: Representative Leach, the motion is only put and take. We are just citing the house rule. I know there is some interest in moving the time. That has to be a separate motion. This is only put and take. So by passing the rule, it s only put and take. The house rule as you read it is already in effect. LEACH: Thank you for that clarification, Chairman Hunter. SPEAKER: Mr. Leach, let s clear up that last question. The calendar rule actually includes not just the put and take but also the deadline we discussed. LEACH: Okay, understood. Under Rulei14, Sectioni4, it s my understanding that any member of this body can make a motion to suspend the rules. Would that include the calendar rule outlined in Rulei11, Sectioni6(h) the 72-hour calendar rule? SPEAKER: Mr. Leach, you can move to suspend that section of the calendar rule, but it will not be under Rulei14, Sectioni4. Mr.iLeach, you would also need to suspend under Rulei14, Sectioni4 because of the requirements of Rulei11. LEACH: So I would move to suspend all necessary rules including the calendar rule. There s a number of members who have discussed and we discussed this with Chairman Zerwas and Chairman Hunter, as well as the parliamentarian who have discussed the idea of possibly moving the deadline to submit amendments from 10ia.m. on Monday to 5ip.m. on Monday to allow time for members to return to Austin, to return to the Capitol, to get their amendments in order. I m wondering, Mr.iSpeaker, if you would recognize me for a motion to suspend the rules to move the calendar deadline to 5ip.m. on Monday. SPEAKER: Mr. Leach, we are going to deal with Mr.iHunter s motion first. Would you come down and discuss? REPRESENTATIVE WALLE: I don t want to get obviously into the substance, but as it pertains to the put and take it rule, how does that apply to GRD accounts, general revenue-dedicated accounts? And I m not sure if Chairman Zerwas can answer that question for us. REPRESENTATIVE ZERWAS: Representative Walle, GRDs are there that put and take can occur. There are some limitations, and I think most of these will be what we impose on ourselves as to where we take certain money from and where do we put it. I think that will be fairly obvious. But in terms of a GRD account being available for put and take, as our conversation up here was, is that that s how it would be.

10 950 85th LEGISLATURE REGULAR SESSION WALLE: It can be any number of GRD accounts you can take from that GRD account and put it in another GRD account? ZERWAS: Another strategy, yes. WALLE: To that issue, I know there was some talk about put and take rule across articles. That s my understanding that that s still part of it. ZERWAS: That s our position. It would occur across articles. I would just advise the body, as you know, when we lay this bill out, we do it article by article. And if there tends to be a movement from one article to another article that we have not yet taken up, that can certainly create some confusion. So my caution would be that as we are working in one article, you might consider as to what we re going to be doing later in the evening and the night on an article that is subsequently to be addressed. SCHAEFER: So we cannot amend this motion, correct, under the rules? SPEAKER: That s correct. SCHAEFER: And so if members wanted to extend the amount of time we had to file amendments to the budget, since the budget came out yesterday afternoon, that would have to fall under a procedure where we had to have unanimous consent to suspend the one-hour notice, correct? SPEAKER: Yes, you would need unanimous consent to suspend the one-hour rule. SCHAEFER: So just to be sure, it would be procedurally difficult to bring up another item following this vote in order to suspend that rule, correct? SPEAKER: It would require one-hour delay. SCHAEFER: One-hour notice Mr. Speaker, how would we give that one-hour notice? SPEAKER: We would read a statement from the front mic. SCHAEFER: And does a member have to be recognized for that or is that a matter of privilege? SPEAKER: Yes, a member would have to be recognized. SCHAEFER: Would the speaker recognize a member for that one-hour notice? SPEAKER: Mr. Schaefer, the chair would recognize you for that motion after we dispense with Mr.iHunter s motion. SCHAEFER: Mr. Speaker, would you repeat that? You said you would recognize a member for that after this motion? SPEAKER: That is what I said.
