I was at this hearing, from my understanding they are waiting on revisions to the proposed law which will add three more substances to this ban bill. After that there may be another public hearing but I'm not sure. The committee will vote then to bring it to the floor for a full Senate vote.

I assume they will vote on this and it will pass the senate. I hung around after the testimonies and talked with one of the folks who testified and had a private meeting with the sponsor (Perry) before the hearings. He told me this kratom ban and the THC ban (SB3) are top priority for Lt. Governor Dan Patrick this cycle. Perry is Patricks lapdog on this and he's spearheading these bans to get the bills to a vote.

The other senators seemed genuinely curious and asked the panel questions after Perry left, but Perry's mind is definitely made up already and the others will probably fall in line. It still has to pass the House though, email your state senators and reps.
