May 03, 2005(Don't) Shake your Buns Bill- HB 1476By Karl-Thomas MusselmanPink Dome is going to liveblog the debate on the Anti-Booty Bill now being debated on the House floor. Yes, this is a real bill. Legislators think it is a priority to ban overly 'suggestive' dancing squads at your hometown football games. Live Stream from House website here. HB 1476 The full text is here but here is the "money".
Update- Initial vote ties 64-64. Much groaning. Motion by McCall to not reduce ANY of the debate to text passes. Motion for roll call. Final vote... 65-56. IT PASSED?!?! I'm waiting on the registry of votes but from listening to debate, my latest unfavorite Rep., Patrick Rose voted FOR this bill. Let's hope this dies a painful death in the Senate and the House gets ridiculed on every News Station "legit or illegit" to quote Rep. Dukes from earlier debate on the bill.

haha... i'm watching dawnna dukes. this is hilarious. Posted by: Byron L at May 3, 2005 05:51 PMOh thank god comments are alive! I suffered in silence. Posted by: Karl-T at May 3, 2005 05:54 PM64-64! Posted by: Byron L at May 3, 2005 06:15 PMUm, shouldn't they be spending time on things such as school financing, health insurance, and...oh, wait. This involves teenaged girls in revealing outfits doing raunchy dances for the pleasure of crowds...never mind. Texas football wouldn't be Texas football without it, I guess... Can we count on another one of Gene Seaman's stright-from-Hustler House Floor speeches? Posted by: Andrea Meyer at May 3, 2005 06:38 PM"overtly sexually suggestive manner" How is the Education Commissioner supposed to learn of these events? I suppose, through citizen complaints. Which is to say that any number of conservative groups will be bombarding the Commissioner with complaints just as they currently do the FCC. The fiscal note states that "[n]o significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated." It will be interesting to see how much staff time TEA winds up spending on this. Of course, the Commissioner could just punt and refer all complaints to the local school board. Jeb Posted by: Jeb at May 4, 2005 09:44 AMI say bring back the "Chips and Salsa" bill from two years ago. These people actually get paid to sit around to debate this crap. Posted by: GT at May 4, 2005 10:16 AMYet another proposed law by the neo-nazi Christians to regulate behavior. Who knows? Maybe soon we will have no cussing, spitting, everyone goes to the Church on Sunday laws. Posted by: gayinmidland at May 4, 2005 12:12 PMWhere do I apply to be Cheerleader Booty Inspector? I have no experience but I'm willing to start at the bottom.... Posted by: nigel r. at May 4, 2005 01:39 PM
