(h) to read as follows:
      (e)  The commissioner may review plans and specifications,
make inspections, and issue certifications that structures not
otherwise covered by this article are free of architectural
barriers and in compliance with the provisions of this article.
The department shall inspect each building and facility that has an
estimated construction cost of $50,000 or more and that is subject
to this article not later than the first anniversary of the date
that construction or substantial renovation, modification, or
alteration of the building or facility is completed.  <The
department shall inspect each building that is subject to this
article because of a lease to the state during the first year of
the lease.>
      (g)  The standards and specifications adopted by the
commissioner under this article that apply specifically to a
building or facility occupied by a state agency involved in
extending direct services to persons with mobility impairments also
apply to a building or facility that is occupied by the Texas
Rehabilitation Commission.
      (h)  Notwithstanding other provisions of this article, the
commissioner shall require complete compliance with the standards
and specifications prescribed or referenced by Subsection (g) of
this section.  The department and the General Services Commission
shall ensure that all buildings and facilities leased or built by
or for the state comply with those standards.  Notwithstanding
other provisions of this article, the department shall perform an
on-site inspection of all buildings and facilities to be leased by
the state before the building or facility is occupied by the state
for compliance with  all accessibility standards and specifications
adopted under this article.  The leasing agency or the General
Services Commission, as applicable, shall cancel the lease unless
the lessor brings into compliance any condition that the inspection
finds not to be in compliance with all applicable standards and
specifications not later than:
            (1)  the 60th day after the date the department
delivers the results of the inspection to the lessor or the
lessor's agent; or
            (2)  a later date established by the commissioner if
circumstances justify a later date.
