Rep. Dutton raises a point of order on consideration of the entire bill. #txlege #POO
I THINK bills affecting TAXES can't be brought before the 119th day ... so they want to know if the LTC FEE is a FEE or a TAX
(Could be the other way around, not sure, but I think that's the rule)
POO withdrawn
Dutton's #POO has been temporarily withdrawn.
Rep. Burrows moves to reconsider his amendment.

Burrows withdraws his amendment that would change fee to $10.
SB16 PASSES to 3rd reading

To me, the bills that will serve as a barometer of the House's support for gun rights this session are:
HB300/SB16 - Lowers the cost of the LTC to $40
HB1911 - Unlicensed carry
HB421 - Volunteer security in a place of worship exempted from private security act
HB560 - Reduction of off limits places for LTCs - Currently presumed dead

SB 16 is on the HOUSE Floor now (Lowering Fees)
SB16 - Lowers the cost of the LTC to $40

Stickland's point of order is sustained. That's two of Moody's amendments that have been taken down by a Stickland POO
