Amend HB 2385 by striking all below the enacting clause and
substituting the following:
      SECTION 1.  (a)  As part of the Sunset Advisory Commission's
review of health and human services agencies in accordance with
Chapter 325, Government Code (Texas Sunset Act) during the 76th
Legislature, the commission shall study:
            (1)  the need for objective research and analysis of
health and human service needs and programs;
            (2)  options for objective development of a long-range
strategic plan for health and human services in this state;
            (3)  whether existing resources available to the
legislature include safeguards needed to maintain the quality of
research and promote greater accountability to state leadership;
and
            (4)  the most appropriate means for providing to the
legislature the research information necessary to manage Texas'
health and human services system and plan for its future.
      (b)  The Sunset Advisory Commission shall consider the
results of the study in developing its recommendations before the
76th Legislature convenes.
      SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
and that this Act take effect and be in force according to its
terms, and it is so enacted.
