I'm really not trying to be difficult. I just don't think it takes that long to read a bill and consider it, especially one that's already had public testimony. If I moved that slow at work for my clients I'd get fired.
My expectation for the TX legislature is that they work day and night getting bills analyzed, scheduled, and voted nearly round the clock while they're in session. I don't see 12-16 hour days as unreasonable for them during a very limited window that only comes every two years. An intelligent person (especially with a staff) should be able to read 165 bills within a month and have markups with comments and questions.
Based on those readings they should be able to set a priority and dive deeper into the comments and questions from that smaller prioritized list.
I read HB700, HB972 and HB3218 all within an hour. I don't see the big deal.
