During floor debate on Wednesday, the Texas House recommitted a Senate Ten Commandments mandate to the House public education committee. Later on Wednesday night, the committee approved the bill and reported it favorably to the full body once more.
Senate Bill 10 would require that public schools accept and display donated posters of the Ten Commandments in all classrooms and would give school districts the ability to spend public school funding to buy and display those posters.
Rep. Candy Noble, R-Lucas, moved to recommit the bill with little explanation after Rep. James Talarico, D-Austin, brought a point of order against the measure on the grounds that its witness list was inaccurate.
SB 10 had not been scheduled for floor debate at press time Thursday.
