Amend HJR 19 on third reading by striking all below the 
resolving clause and substituting the following:
	SECTION 1.  Section 12, Article III, Texas Constitution, is 
amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 12.  (a) Each house of the legislature [House] shall 
keep a journal of its proceedings, and publish the same.
	(b)  A vote taken by either house must be by record vote with 
the vote of each member entered in the journal of that house if the 
vote is on final passage of a bill, a resolution proposing or 
ratifying a constitutional amendment, or another resolution other 
than a resolution of a purely ceremonial or honorary nature.  Either 
house by rule may provide for exceptions to this requirement for a 
bill that applies only to one district or political subdivision of 
this state.  For purposes of this subsection, a vote on final 
passage includes a vote on third reading in a house, or on second 
reading if the house suspends the requirement for three readings, 
on whether to concur in the other house's amendments, and on whether 
to adopt a conference committee report.
	(c)  The[; and the] yeas and nays of the members of either 
house [House] on any other question shall, at the desire of any 
three members present, be entered on the journals.
	(d)  Each house shall make each record vote required under 
Subsection (b) of this section, including the vote of each 
individual member as recorded in the journal of that house, 
available to the public for a reasonable period of not less than two 
years through the Internet or a successor electronic communications 
system accessible by the public.  For a record vote on a bill or on a 
resolution proposing or ratifying a constitutional amendment, the 
record vote must be accessible to the public by reference to the 
designated number of the bill or resolution and by reference to its 
subject.
	SECTION 2.  This proposed constitutional amendment shall be 
submitted to the voters at an election to be held November 6, 2007.  
The ballot shall be printed to permit voting for or against the 
proposition:  "The constitutional amendment to require that a 
record vote be taken by a house of the legislature on final passage 
of any bill, other than certain local bills, of a resolution 
proposing or ratifying a constitutional amendment, or of any other 
nonceremonial resolution, and to provide for public access on the 
Internet to those record votes."
