Thank you, Mr. President and Members. Senate Bill 1991 seeks to improve the state's implementation of the electronic visit verification system in order to reduce administrative burdens on providers. The Conference Committee Report kept one of two amendments added by the House, which directs the Health and Human Services Commission to conduct a study relating to teaching hospital funding. In conference, we opted to remove the second amendment, which included language from House Bill 4191 by Representative Klick relating to wound care education and training. We did so, in part, because the Health and Human Services Commission has committed to Representative Klick and myself to work on this issue in the interim. With that, I move to adopt the Conference Committee Report for Senate Bill 1991 at this time.

On motion of Senator Buckingham, the Conference Committee Report was adopted by the following vote: Yeas 31, Nays 0.

REMARKS ORDERED PRINTED

On motion of Senator Buckingham and by unanimous consent, her remarks regarding the Conference Committee Report on SB 604 were ordered reduced to writing and printed in the Senate Journal as follows:

Thank you, Mr. President and Members. Senate Bill 604 addresses the Department of Motor Vehicles Sunset Bill. The Conference Committee Report removes the requirement added by the House that requires the department continue to approve motor vehicle shows, and instead only requires a notification. For the purposes of legislative intent, I fully expect this notification process to be a simple, straightforward process and not to be misused as a tool to restrict market participation in any form or fashion. While the bill keeps the House amendment related to digital license plates, the language in the Conference Committee Report is reflective of the language in HB 1711 as it passed the Senate and includes additional language to address concerns raised by law enforcement. The House also opted to reinstate exemptions for certain advertising violations by motor vehicle dealers, which is also reflected in the final version of the bill. With that, I move to adopt the Conference Committee Report for Senate Bill 604 at this time.

On motion of Senator Nelson, the Conference Committee Report was adopted by the following vote: Yeas 31, Nays 0.

REASON FOR VOTE

Senator Zaffirini submitted the following reason for vote on HB 1:

Mr. President and Members, it is true that the conference committee report for House Bill 1 will serve all Texans, at least from the perspective of the Texas Legislature, vintage 2019. I continue to hope, however, that our commitment to solving systemic problems will extend beyond simply this session—and this budget. Although $6.3 billion represents an unprecedented investment in public education, a one-time infusion of funding will not create the lasting improvement we hope to see.

This bill continues to reflect many of our shared priorities, and I congratulate Senator Nelson, Representative Zerwas, and the conferees on a job well done.

We made much progress, but much work remains. While the bill will create 1,628 new waiver slots for Medicaid programs for persons with disabilities, for example, only a fraction of the nearly 200,000 persons on the waiting lists will be served. What's more, while funding full-day pre-K for qualifying students is significant progress, we know that the impact of full-day high-quality pre-K begins even before the age of three, and Texas children deserve the best start we can provide to excel. I could go on and on about the important areas of the budget that were funded, but also those in which I believe we should have invested significantly more, but our time is limited.

That is why I continue to disagree completely, as I did when the Senate first passed this bill, with those who say this budget spends too much. Frankly, it does much good, but count me among those who wish we had invested more, including in the environment and health care—and I hope someday we will.

Because we did so much and, in many cases, did more than expected, I will vote for the conference committee report for CSHB 1, and I hope we adopt it 31-0.

ZAFFIRINI

AT EASE

The President at 6:43 p.m. announced the Senate would stand At Ease subject to the call of the Chair.
