HB681/SB321 Parking Lots Bill is on the Floor

[A-R]

motion to table the "save the children" amendment prevails

[Paragrouper]

I missed part of it. Have any amendments passed?

[A-R]

I like this guy. Smart. Clarifying a lot of the liability language. Makes a lot of sense from my layman's perspective - he obviously has a legal background.

oops ... spoke too soon, now he wants to eliminate ALL LIABILTY on part of employer ... that's ridiculous.

They defined gross negligence earlier by example of "Employee A calls and tells employer he's going to bring gun to work to kill Employee B and employer does nothing" ... I think a company SHOULD be liable if they have this kind of actual knowledge of imminnent threat. This guy now wants to say they have no liability even in this case.

Only the ones that Kleinschmidt recommended (1 & 2).

Yes, amendments have passed, but the first two were introduced by the authors of the bill I believe. This fourth amendment does not seem to be a bad amendment, but just clarifying information mostly to protect employers. Is this correct?

For those of us unable to view the stream, do you have a laymans overview of what they are? The tx website doesn't show what they are http://www.legis.state.tx.us/BillLookup ... 21#vote216" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

oh man, "I don't understand ..." guy is back ... who is this guy? He probably doesn't understand where the men's room is.

[A-R]

Neither of these morons understands this bill .... it's NOT ABOUT PREMISES, IT'S ABOUT PARKING LOTS

[A-R]

Sorry for the lack of adequate point-by-point (I'm not as good at this as RPB is with campus carry )

I feel so ashamed that these are collectively our representatives and they have no CLUE what the bill is about and what it provides, while I am sitting at home and completely understand the bill myself. This is close to embarrassing.

[jmra]

I wish this guy would shut up!

[A-R]

"I don't understand" guy gripes after being cut off for exceeding time ... "y'all need to speak English"

English: Gun in car ok. Gun in building not being discussed here (or shouldn't be). Premises=building or part of building. English. Thank you.

to be fair, over 2000 bills were proposed this year, so I can see how its hard to be up on all of them. But, if the aides haven't done the research to fill a Rep in on it, maybe he should get some better aides instead of asking silly questions on the floor. It's called research, and its kind of what you're supposed to have all those staffers for....
