HB 910 Conference Committee

[safety1]

Check other thread. Amendment remains. So the speed was really just because there was nothing more that could be done. Objectionable language remains. no point in going to committee other than trying to delay an up or down vote.

soooo....what now? Both Chambers must vote right??
When?????

According to:

The conference committee report has been filed! Does anybody have any details?

That seems... fast. If they agreed on changes then it now has to pass the Senate and the House, correct? If that's so then the filibuster will kill it. Huffines ruined open carry for Texas. Others share some blame, but most of it can be laid squarely at his feet.

If it's moving this fast, it might not have a chance to get filibustered. Unless someone is determined enough to talk for a day or two. Perhaps that is the plan to get it through. I guess we'll see.

You may be onto something! I don't know what the record is for filibustering, but if we make it 24+ hours I don't see it happening.

Here's your answer:

On May 2, 1977, Mr. Meier rose to speak on the floor of the Senate chamber in Austin at 3:20 p.m. He did not relinquish the floor and sit down until 10:20 a.m. on May 4, some 43 hours later. It remains the longest filibuster by an American politician in a state legislature or in Congress. Then a 36-year-old Democratic state senator, Mr. Meier stood and talked nearly continuously for about as long as it would take to drive from Manhattan to San Francisco without stopping.

Well, at least Texas holds the record.

So if they didn't change anything, it goes back to a simple concurrence vote, right?

I'm going to slow down here, things are coming out fast and furious right now.
We are spreading some misinformation, not intentional (I included). Let's see what happens.
This is VERY GOOD NEWS THOUGH!

Can the House take up SB 17 and pass it? Straight to the Governor?

Multiple reporters are reporting that the Dutton/Huffines amendment has been removed and the conference committee is done.
