Amend HR 5 as follows:                                                       
	(1) On page 93, line 27 (Rule 5, Section 51), immediately 
following "APPROVAL", insert "OF BILL OR JOINT RESOLUTION".
	(2) On page 94, strike lines 6-14 (Rule 5, Section 51(b)), and 
substitute the following:
	(b) Passage of a bill or joint resolution "without objection" 
is the functional equivalent of a recorded vote in that the journal 
will show that every member present must have favored passage of the 
measure unless the member exercised the opportunity to register the 
member's vote otherwise. However, passage of a bill or joint 
resolution "without objection" does not satisfy a requirement that 
the vote be taken by yeas and nays and entered in the journal under 
the Texas Constitution or another rule, including Rule 8, Section 
19, relating to the vote required for a bill to have immediate 
effect.
