Is that normal? Encouraging? A bad sign?

This is the regular procedure. Bills are almost always left pending after the first hearing and voted on the next week or even later, if at all. Committee substitutes are not published unit/unless the Bill is voted on in committee. The minimum week between the first hearing and voting gives time to work on bill changes to get the votes to pass it out of committee.

Do the people testifying today get to see a copy of the substitute bill before they speak?

No.

Correct. Also, a committee substitute bill is tendered during a committee meeting, as C.S.H.B1911 will be when it is heard next week. However, it will not be available on the Legislative website until/unless the Committee votes it favorably. Otherwise, it is not available to the public.

I did not write HB1911, or did I write C.S.H.B. 1911. I helped others on the Bill.
