Bill > HR2462

This Resolution, H.R. No. 2462, adopted by the Texas House of Representatives, suspends certain limitations on the jurisdiction of a conference committee, which is a group of lawmakers from both the House and Senate tasked with reconciling differences between versions of a bill. Specifically, it allows the conference committee working on Senate Bill 12, a bill concerning the regulation of sexually oriented performances and restrictions on such performances, to consider and add new text to the bill. This new text, which was not present in either the original House or Senate versions, would amend the Penal Code to include "the exhibition of sexual gesticulations using accessories or prosthetics that exaggerate male or female sexual characteristics" as an additional form of sexual conduct that could be regulated under the bill. The stated purpose for this change is to broaden the definition of sexual conduct addressed by Senate Bill 12.
