Hundreds of people spoke against this bill which could not pass during the regular legislative session. The bill might still be stopped in the Texas Senate. The way this bill was passed is horrible. THE REPUBLICANS CUT OFF DEBATE AND VOTED AT 4 AM.
With Republicans talking about limited government and open discussions, they moved the hearings to a time and date at the last minute so people could not plan on attending and then voted at 4 AM, hoping people would not see what they were doing.
