Voted Yea as the Texas Senate passed CSHB 1325, the bill bringing Texas into line with the federal hemp definition and creating the state's licensed hemp programme, on third reading by Yeas 31, Nays 0.

⚠️The journal prints only The tally for this vote, not a name-by-name roll. The Texas Senate has exactly 31 members, so 31 yeas is every seated member, and she is recorded present in that day's opening roll call. Her vote is deduced from those two facts rather than read off a printed list.

Texas Senate: recorded Yea on the passage of CSHB 1325 to third reading, the 2019 bill on the production and regulation of hemp that brought Texas into line with the federal hemp definition and created the state's licensed hemp programme. The Senate Journal prints: "CSHB 1325 as amended was passed to third reading by a viva voce vote. All Members are deemed to have voted "Yea" on the passage to third reading."

⚠️The journal prints only the tally for this vote and no name-by-name roll.
