The Senate adopted House Concurrent Resolution 166 on Friday, instructing the enrolling clerk of the House to make technical corrections to House Bill 4187, an omnibus bill concerning the Texas Historical Commission.

Senator Sandra Kolkhorst explained HCR 166 on the Senate floor, saying the measure "authorizes technical corrections to HB 4,187," specifically correcting an incorrect reference to the Texas Historical Commission's jurisdiction in sections 11 and 15 of the bill. Senator Kolkhorst moved adoption; the secretary called the roll and the record shows "there being 31 ayes and 0 nays," and the resolution was adopted.

Why it matters: Enrolling-clerk corrections are routine technical fixes made after passage to correct drafting or cross-reference errors so the enrolled bill reflects the Legislature's intent and correct statutory citations.

What the record shows: The Senate adopted the House concurrent resolution by roll call, 31-0. The resolution directs the enrolling clerk to correct the referenced sections of HB 4187 to reflect the proper statutory citations for the Texas Historical Commission's jurisdiction.

What the record does not show: The transcript excerpt does not contain the full text of HB 4187, the exact incorrect citations as they appeared in the engrossed bill, or the precise corrected statutory citations; it provides only the chamber explanation that two sections contained incorrect references and that the resolution authorizes technical corrections.
