                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to transferring money and to reducing the appropriations
    1-3  of certain state agencies for the fiscal year ending August 31,
    1-4  1995, to reflect the savings and reimbursements to the state under
    1-5  a contract for computer services; making an appropriation.
    1-6        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-7        SECTION 1.  (a)  The comptroller of public accounts shall
    1-8  reduce for the fiscal year ending August 31, 1995, the
    1-9  appropriation of each state agency that saves money under a
   1-10  contract that was entered into by the Department of Information
   1-11  Resources with a private vendor at the direction of the State
   1-12  Council on Competitive Government for the provision of computer
   1-13  services that were previously provided by the computer services
   1-14  facility of the department. The aggregate amount of the
   1-15  appropriations to be reduced under this subsection is $563,233.
   1-16        (b)  The comptroller shall reduce an affected agency's
   1-17  appropriation in an amount equal to the amount of money the agency
   1-18  will save as a result of the contract during the fiscal year ending
   1-19  August 31, 1995.
   1-20        (c)  The comptroller shall transfer to the undedicated
   1-21  portion of the general revenue fund the $563,233 in appropriations
   1-22  reduced under Subsections (a) and (b) of this section.
   1-23        (d)  The comptroller also shall credit to the general revenue
   1-24  fund the amount of money that is paid under the contract by the
    2-1  vendor to the Department of Information Resources during the fiscal
    2-2  year ending August 31, 1995, for the reimbursement of the state's
    2-3  direct and indirect costs related to the contract, which amount is
    2-4  estimated to be $612,986. Out of that amount:
    2-5              (1)  there is appropriated for the fiscal year ending
    2-6  August 31, 1995, to the General Services Commission an amount equal
    2-7  to the extra costs incurred by the commission as a result of the
    2-8  contract during that fiscal year for the purpose of paying those
    2-9  extra costs; and
   2-10              (2)  there is appropriated for the fiscal year ending
   2-11  August 31, 1995, to the Department of Information Resources an
   2-12  amount equal to the extra costs incurred by the department as a
   2-13  result of the contract during that fiscal year for the purpose of
   2-14  paying those extra costs.
   2-15        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   2-16  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   2-17  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   2-18  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   2-19  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   2-20  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   2-21  passage, and it is so enacted.
