Amend CSHB 1622 by adding the following appropriately
numbered section and renumbering the sections of the bill as
appropriate:
      SECTION ____. (a)  Section 156.301, Family Code, is amended
to read as follows:
      Sec. 156.301.  GROUNDS FOR MODIFICATION OF POSSESSION AND
ACCESS. The court may modify an order that sets the terms and
conditions for possession of or access to a child or that
prescribes the relative rights, privileges, duties, and powers of
conservators if:
            (1)  the circumstances of the child or a person
affected by the order have materially and substantially changed
since the date of the rendition of the order;
            (2)  the order has become unworkable or inappropriate
under existing circumstances;
            (3)  the notice of change of a conservator's residence
required by Chapter 105 <153> was not given or there was a change
in a conservator's residence to a place outside this state; <or>
            (4)  a conservator has repeatedly failed to give notice
of an inability to exercise possessory rights; or
            (5)  a conservator of the child has a significant
history of alcohol or drug abuse.
      (b)  The change in law made by this section applies only to a
motion to modify an order or portion of a decree providing for
possession of or access to a child on or after the effective date
of this Act.  A motion filed before the effective date of this Act
is governed by the law in effect on the date the motion was filed,
and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.  The
enactment of this section does not by itself constitute a material
and substantial change of circumstances sufficient to warrant
modification of a court order or portion of a decree that provides
for possession of or access to a child rendered before the
effective date of this Act.
