Here's the "completed" (just some cosmetic stuff to clean up) transcripts for the two hearings before it was approved in the House Committee on Culture, Recreation, and Tourism:

March 10th hearing (about an hour and a half)

March 17th hearing (about 15 minutes)

Any word on how HB 1500 is progressing? Thanks Clark

>>Any word on how HB 1500 is progressing?

It pass unanimously out of the Committee on Culture, Recreation, and Tourism (I think one member was absent) and is now referred to Local and Consent Committee. Hopefully it will sail through there as well (as amended to include authority for TPWD to prescribe safety regulations such as the wear of an orange vest) and be sponsored on the Senat side as well.

Chris,

Thanks for your work on this. Where can we read an updated version of the bill? I thought I signed up for updates but haven't heard anything. It looks like they are going to be tracking invertebrate harvest. I wonder if Barney knows about this.

Thanks,
