Finally, today, Dr. Greg Bonin will file House Bill 3, the House's priority
00:05
legislation for flood recovery and infrastructure funding, developed after
00:10
25 hours of testimony from Texans whose lives were upended by the July 4th floods.
00:16
To those in California, Illinois, New York, or Massachusetts, wherever you may be,
00:22
hear this. The bill cannot be referred to committee without a quorum. Every hour
00:29
you remain away is time stolen from those Texans in need. Each one of you knows
00:37
that eventually you will come back and we will pass the priorities of the special
00:43
session on the call. But with each passing day, the political cost of your absence
00:48
is rising and it will be paid in full. For the members' presence, I expect everyone
00:55
to be here on Monday at the absolute latest. DPS is in the field to execute these
01:01
warrants. Should they lead to the civil arrest of our absent colleagues over the
01:06
weekend, you are on call. You will need to be available to return to Austin with a
01:13
minimum of six hours of notice.
01:19
Members, the call of the House remains in force. Under House rules, the House may
01:25
adjourn from day to day. While I will call the House to order in a pro forma session
01:30
tomorrow at 11 a.m. unless you receive a call to be here tomorrow because of DPS's
01:35
good work, I will provide written permission to be entered in today's journal
01:39
for each member registered as present during the session to leave the chamber
01:43
and return 1 p.m. Monday. Members present today do not need to return until at 1 p.m.
01:51
Monday. Members present today do not need to return until Friday. Until Monday.
02:01
Mr. Garren moves the House stand adjourned until 11 a.m. Saturday. Is there any objection?
02:06
Mr. Garren hears none and the House stands adjourned.
