(1)  Amend SB 1702 by striking all below the enacting clause
and substituting in lieu thereof the following:
      "SECTION 1.  Section 441.010, Government Code, is amended by
adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
      (f)  In consultation with the commission, a governor may
designate an institution of higher education or alternate archival
institution in the state, in lieu of the Texas State Library and
Archives, as the repository for the records of the executive office
of the governor created or received during that governor's term of
office.  Such alternative repository shall administer the records
in accordance with normally accepted archival principles and
practices and shall ensure that the records are available to the
public.  The terms of any such alternative repository arrangement
shall be recorded by the commission through a memorandum of
understanding, deposit agreement, or other appropriate
documentation.
      SECTION 2.  If HB 1812, Acts of the 75th Legislature, Regular
Session, 1997, is enacted and becomes law, the provisions of that
Act relating to the records of the executive office of the governor
and to the repeal of Section 441.010, Government Code, in its
entirety shall prevail over the provisions of this Act.
      SECTION 3.  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 from and after its
passage, and it is so enacted."
      (2)  Amend the caption to read as follows:
"relating to the records of the executive office of the
governor."
