	Amend HR 2 (adopting the House Rules) in Rule 5 by striking 
amended Section 51(d) (page 103, line 26, through page 104, line 12) 
and substituting the following:
	[(d)  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.]
