It is my distinct honor and privilege to lay this bill out before you. My very first bill. This bill was voted out 90 from a majority conservative committee. This bill ensures first time nonviolent 17 year old defenders are put in a pre trial diversion program. Are you aware that Texas makes it harder than all other 49 states to vote? I'm not. You know, I've seen that when DPS left my district. (00:30–00:37)
