On motion of Senator Watson and by unanimous consent, his remarks with Senator Hughes regarding HB 2730 were ordered reduced to writing and printed in the Senate Journal as follows:

Senator Watson:  First of all, I really like your bill and am impressed by the work you and others have done to get so many groups involved and on the same page. I just want to ask a couple of questions to establish some legislative intent. You mentioned that the bill tightens the definition of public concern. Will you explain what the bill does in this regard?

Senator Hughes:  Happy to. Under current law, lawyers and judges can apply the definition to almost any type of human activity. The definition of public concern goes way beyond what the U.S. protects as speech about a public concern. For example, if I am talking to my neighbor over the fence about my credit report or whether or not I need to get a flu shot, both of these would count as a matter of public concern under current law. And this definition is partly why this statute has been litigated more than any other statute on our books. Under the bill, the issue must be something that matters to the public at large, such as statements about public figures and statements about political and social issues. The tests for what counts as a matter of public concern are taken from the 2011 U.S. Supreme Court case, Snyder v. Phelps. The public figure issue is taken from a recent California Supreme Court case called Filmon v. Double Verify. California's anti-SLAPP statute is older than ours and is considered the model, after it was also reformed some years ago. This is very important because the statute will have established jurisprudence to guide Texas courts on how to apply the new law. Statements in a public protest against government policy, for example, are covered by the definition. Statements made in private matters to a limited group of people would not be covered by the definition.

Senator Watson:  So, if Texas courts look to Snyder v. Phelps and related cases, they'll be guided as to what's a public concern?

Senator Hughes:  Yes.

Senator Watson:  Thank you, Senator. I think the Judiciary and everyone involved in the civil justice system will appreciate the Legislature clarifying this statute. And I hope they're also listening to us right now for guidance on how to interpret the changes. Mr. President, I move that the remarks between Senator Hughes and myself be placed in the Journal.

On motion of Senator Menéndez and by unanimous consent, his remarks with Senator Hughes regarding HB 2730 were ordered reduced to writing and printed in the Senate Journal as follows:

President:  Senator Menéndez, for what purpose?

Senator Menéndez:  Thank you, Mr. President. I have a couple of questions for the author.

President:  Do you yield?

Senator Hughes:  Yes, of course, I'll yield.

Senator Menéndez:  Thank you, Senator Hughes. I also join Senator Watson in--

President:  Watson, it's that guy over there, Watson.

Senator Menéndez:  Yes. Yeah, I know, I--

President:  Late night.

Senator Menéndez:  Yes, those four hours of driving back and forth and little sleep are getting to me, but I have some questions for legislative intent.

Senator Hughes:  Yes, Sir.

Senator Menéndez:  So, in my district we have nearly 100 active neighborhood associations. And in San Antonio, any zoning case or major county or municipal project goes to the public for input, as it does in many places across the state. What if these neighborhoods are sued for fraud or if a claim is for fraud, because it is exempted under this statute, 27.010(a)?

Senator Hughes:  Now, Senator, that is an important question. Now, a right to petition is fundamental, isn't it? Under various drafts of the bill, the association you described would have had a problem, but I want to assure you that under the version that we are offering the Senate today, that I hope we'll be passing, the anti-SLAPP statute would not prevent them from exercising their rights.

Senator Menéndez:  So, it is your intent that they would have the rights to speak up and not be able to be held up in terms of preventing their rights to speak up.

Senator Hughes:  That's right.

Senator Menéndez:   How would this bill impact neighborhood groups that oppose projects in their area? Would it impact them in any way? Would this bill keep neighborhoods protected and make sure they have a voice of a public concern, such a city project?

Senator Hughes:  Senator Menéndez, the bill we hope to pass would protect their right to voice their objection on matters of public concern. No problem.

Senator Menéndez:  No problem, and so I'm glad because I've had the experience where they have been threatened they're going to get sued and that they would not be able to come out from under the costs of those lawsuits, so really there was a chilling effect on their voice.

Senator Hughes:  That would be a bad result, and the language of this bill solves that problem.

Senator Menéndez:  Thank you very much. I appreciate that.
