Amend SB 844 as follows: Strike SECTION 1 and substitute a new SECTION 1 to read as follows: "SECTION 1. Section 2306.589, Government Code, is amended to read as follows: Sec. 2306.589. COLONIA SET-ASIDE FUND. (a) The department shall establish a fund in the department designated as the colonia set-aside fund. (b) The department by rule shall provide that an application for assistance in paying for residential service lines and hookups associated with being connected to a water supply or sewer service system may be submitted after construction of a water supply or sewer service system begins. Money in the fund may not be used to pay for indoor plumbing facilities and fixtures. The department shall approve or disapprove a timely application before construction of the water supply or sewer service is completed in order to eliminate delay in hookups once construction is completed. The department and the Texas Water Development Board shall coordinate the application process for hookup funds under this subsection and under Subchapter L, Chapter 15, Water Code, and shall share information elicited by each agency's application procedure in order to avoid duplication of effort and to eliminate the need for applicants to complete different forms with similar information."
