And we're now on #HB5, as @toddahunter begins his layout. So far, there are about 15 amendments filed. #txlege

Full bill: capitol.texas.gov/tlodocs/88R/bi… Image
One of the biggest sticking points on this issue -- in fact, one of the main reasons Chapter 313 was killed -- has been renewables.

Hunter says flat out that renewables are not included.

#txlege may debate #HB5 - the replacement for #Chapter313 corporate subsidies - this week. Would it be an improvement?

Spoiler alert: Nope

Renewable energy projects, which got construction incentives under #Chapter313, are cut out of #HB5. With the minor exception of providing energy to batteries to power the grid. #txlege
#Chapter313 covered only new construction.

We are in amendments. @LindaStewartFL starts with an amendment to reduce the physician sign-off requirement from two to one. "Under normal circumstances, it's not easy to get an appointment with an OB/GYN."
.@senpizzo talks about his family's difficult pregnancy and the trust he had in his doctor. "I never thought about getting a second opinion."
Sen. Stargell's opposition to this amendment assumes all pregnant people have access to costly specialists. However, approximately 1 million people in Florida who could get pregnant do not have insurance and do not have such access.

@jamestalarico objects to removal of language regarding teaching of wrongs of KKK. #txlege #HB3979
@jamestalarico Rep. @jamestalarico asks if any bill that included, then removes, the teaching of wrongs of white supremacy is a racist bill.

@Toth_4_Texas is silent.

@jasminefor100, D-Dallas, whoops.

#txlege #HB3979
@jamestalarico @Toth_4_Texas @jasminefor100 Rep. @Toth_4_Texas said he would support any bill that teaches it's wrong to judge someone by the color of their skin instead of the content of their character.

So @jamestalarico asks why he then supports Senate version of bill, which removed teaching of wrongs of KKK. #txlege
