BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of |
|
|
Texas, 87th Legislature, Regular Session, 2021, That House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to |
|
|
resolve the differences on Senate Bill 3 (preparing for, |
|
|
preventing, and responding to weather emergencies and power |
|
|
outages; increasing the amount of administrative and civil |
|
|
penalties) to consider and take action on the following matter: |
|
|
(1) House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(2), is suspended to permit |
|
|
the committee to omit text not in disagreement by omitting proposed |
|
|

|
|

|
|

|
|
determined by the independent organization certified under Section |
|
|

|

|
|
(b) Except as provided by Subsection (c), an aggregator, a |

|
|
