Sen. Huffines is killing HB910

[joe817]

OMG that was painful.

No kidding! I think I enjoyed my hemorrhoid operation more than watching this thing get passed!

I hope the deal is still in place.

Chas.

When will we know?

House and Senate passed identical versions, just needs the Governor's signature now!

If only Abbott will sign it...

Wonder what the chances of that are.

He doesn't have to sign it. Just so long as he doesn't veto it.

Wow!

It's been a long ride.

Noooooooooooooooooo!

"Senate secretary just confirmed to press that even if chamber adopts Huffines/Dutton amendment, would have to be concurred by House #txlege"

If that is true, I would say that is a rookie mistake. Very disappointing.

Someone please explain to me how suspension of the 3 day rule means that this bill has been passed. I thought it had only passed on to a 3rd reading.

Now, for the love of something, with all that has happened, where exactly does that leave things?

If the Huffines amendment was identical to the language in the House, then it's over and it goes to the Governor.

I still can't give any details, but I will say that campus-carry was very much a part of the proceedings. It has publicly disclosed that the Senate and House had cut a deal on HB910 and SB11, so I'm not disclosing anything confidential. The details are something else. Call your Representative and ask them to support SB11 and oppose amendments not acceptable to the author. I hope the deal is still in place.

Chas.

A clean bill most have been part of the deal.....and that didn't happen so SB11 is a toss up....just my guess???
Thanks for all your hard work Charles.

Looks like I misspoke earlier. I was sure I'd heard Huffines say his amendment was the exact same language as the Dutton amendment at some point today, guess I was wrong.

I thought the same.

@lmcgaughy tweet

the amendment isn't quite identical. but she said didn't matter anyway b/c any amendment (even identical) would send it back

Thanks for all your hard work Charles.

I've been following this since around 12:30pm today, and that's what I suspected as well.

Thanks again Charles for all your hard work behind the scenes, as well as for sharing what info you can with us!
