|
and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (15 U.S.C. Section 9001 et |

|
provision of grants by the office of the governor to the agencies |
|
listed under Subsection (c) of this section to be used by the |
|
agencies for salaries of employees and provided related benefits |
|
which would have otherwise been paid during the state fiscal year |

|
(H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th Legislature, Regular Session, 2019 (the |

the difference between the amount of the appropriation reduction |
|
listed under Subsection (c) of this section for that agency and the |
|
amount of the grants received by that agency from the office of the |
|
governor, for a total aggregate decrease of appropriation |
|
reductions from the general revenue fund and dedicated accounts in |
|
the general revenue fund required under Subsection (c) of this |
|
section in an amount equal to the difference between $2,409,840,356 |
|

|
agencies listed under Subsection (c) of this section shall, in |

|
included in the decreased appropriation reductions provided under |

|
of this section shall identify the strategies and objectives out of |
|
which the decrease of appropriation reductions are made. |

|
general revenue fund and dedicated accounts in the general revenue |
|
fund for each agency listed under Subsection (c) of this section are |
|
reduced by an amount equal to the decrease of appropriation |
|
reductions calculated for each agency as provided under Subsection |
|
(c-1) of this section. Each of the agencies listed under Subsection |
|
(c) of this section shall identify the strategies and objectives |
|
out of which the indicated reductions in unencumbered amounts |
|
appropriated to the agency from the general revenue fund and |
|
dedicated accounts in the general revenue fund are made. |
|
(d) This subsection applies only to a state agency or |
|
institution of higher education the appropriations to which are |
|
reduced under Subsection (c) of this section. Notwithstanding any |
|
other provision of Chapter 1353 (H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th |
|
Legislature, Regular Session, 2019 (the General Appropriations |
|
Act), a grant of federal money received from the Office of the |
|
Governor by a state agency or institution of higher education to |
|
which this section applies shall be: |
|
(1) treated as general revenue for the purpose of |
|
calculating benefits in accordance with Section 6.08, Article IX, |
|
of that Act; and |
|
(2) eligible for proportional general revenue |
|
benefits as if the appropriations from general revenue were not |
|
reduced for the state agency or institution of higher education |
|
under Subsection (c) of this section. |
|
(e) It is the intent of the legislature that federal funds |
|
appropriated in accordance with Section 13.01, Article IX, of |
|
Chapter 1353 (H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th Legislature, Regular |
|
Session, 2019 (the General Appropriations Act), to a state agency |
|
or institution of higher education be used by the agency or |
|
institution for the purpose of avoiding reductions to the provision |
|
of important government services as a result of the reduction in the |
|
amount appropriated to the agency or institution from the general |
|
revenue fund or a dedicated account in the general revenue fund |
|
under Subsection (c) of this section. |
|
(f) It is the intent of the legislature that lapsed |
|
appropriations associated with appropriations made by Chapter 1353 |
|
(H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th Legislature, Regular Session, 2019 (the |
|
General Appropriations Act), from the general revenue fund or from |
|
dedicated accounts in the general revenue fund to a state agency or |
|
institution of higher education for the state fiscal year ending |
|
August 31, 2020, be used to offset the total amount of reductions |
|
required by Subsections (a) and (b) of this section for the |
|
applicable agency or institution. The offset is contingent upon |
|
approval by the comptroller of public accounts and the Legislative |
|
Budget Board. |
