Lord, you said in your word that the harvest is great, but the laborers are
few. Therefore, pray for the laborers of this great harvest. Today, we gather in this
great house to be those laborers few in number in this great time of harvest,
opportunity, challenges, difficulties, and yet there is a great doorway into a great
future. 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.

Fill this building with light so that in every conversation there is an
awareness that no man lives to himself or dies to himself, but his life of service is

to hear, perceive, and to feel what each one is saying in these changing times, that
we would be open to hear and reason together. Fill this building with truth and a
love for the laws of this land. Fill this building with grace in order for
relationships to be established and mended. Fill this building with selflessness
and sincerity in order to secure the future. Fill this building with prosperity,

ADDRESS BY REPRESENTATIVE S. THOMPSON
The chair recognized Representative S. Thompson who addressed the house,
speaking as follows:
Since the founding of the Texas Republic in 1836, women of every age,
culture, and socioeconomic background have played and continue to play critical
roles in the history and development of this great state. Some examples of
noteworthy women that have influenced Texas ’history are:
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."
HR 651 - INTRODUCTION OF GUESTS
The chair recognized Representative Phelan who introduced players of the
West Orange-Stark High School football team.
ADDRESS BY REPRESENTATIVE LAUBENBERG
The chair recognized Representative Laubenberg who addressed the house,
speaking as follows:
Members, it s’ been a sad day the last couple of days. Representative Jerry
Madden was here, and Jeff Leach took his place, but last night his wife passed
away. He served from the 73rd to the 82nd. Jerry met the love of his life, Barbara,
while he was at West Point in 1963. After she graduated from Ellis Hospital
School of Nursing, he graduated from West Point, and they were married in 1965.
Jerry then went on to Ranger School. We have a member who lost his wife, and
it s’ a really sad time right now, and we just want to honor Jerry and honor the
memory of his wife.
Thursday, March 30, 2017
HOUSE JOURNAL — 42nd Day
945
Barbara followed Jerry to Fort Benning, Georgia, then to Germany, where
their son, Jerry Jr., was born. After Jerry s’ tours in Vietnam, she went with him to
Fort Sill, Oklahoma, where their first daughter, Stephanie, was born. Then they
moved to Richardson, and there in 1969, they welcomed their daughter Kristina.
Barbara was a nurse with a loving heart who cared for thousands of people in
hospitals and nursing homes. She was also active in the women s’ organization
down here. She and Jerry were friends, partners, and soulmates, married since
1965. That s’ 53iyears; it s’ a long time. Barbara went home to meet the Lord this
morning at 3:15ia.m. If we could just have a moment of silence for Jerry, thank
you.

HOUSE JOURNAL — 42nd Day
947
PARLIAMENTARY INQUIRY
REPRESENTATIVE TURNER: Chairman Hunter, you v’ e 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
3-4600, the Legislative Budget Board can be reached at 3-1200, and TLC bill
drafting can be reached using LDR or called at 3-1155. 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.
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 r’e not required to add, but if you do add, you r’e 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 r’e 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
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
w i t h C h a i r m a n Z e r w a s a n d C h a i r m a n H u n t e r, a s w e l l a s t h e
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.
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 r’e 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.
