      hb 1747 may become a public law, HOWEVER, when these alleged laws go through revision and becomes a statute, many times if not every time, it’s not really a law when revised!
      WHY?? the following enacting clause is REMOVED!
      BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
      removal of an enacting clause NULLIFIES the statute as a public law! upon removal of the enacting clause changes the statute to a PRIVATE COPYRIGHTED CORPORATE STATUTE applicable ONLY to employee’s of the corporation! If you are not an employee of the corporation known as STATE OF TEXAS, it “the statute” does not apply to you!
      YOU ARE NOT WITHIN THE JURISDICTION OF A PRIVATE COPYRIGHTED CORPORATE STATUTE!
