Amend HB 3197 as follows:
      (1)  Delete Section 3 of HB 3197 and add a new Section 3 to
read as follows:
            "SECTION 3.  Sections 23.128(h) and (i), Tax Code, are
amended to read as follows:
            "(h)  An appropriate taxing unit shall, on its tax bill
prepared for the owner of a retail manufactured housing inventory,
separately itemize the taxes imposed on the retail manufactured
housing inventory.  When the tax bill is prepared for a retail
manufactured housing inventory, the assessor for the taxing unit,
or an entity, if any, other than the collector, that collects taxes
on behalf of the taxing unit, shall provide the collector a true
and correct copy of the tax bill sent to the owner, including taxes
imposed on the retail manufactured housing inventory.  The
collector shall apply the money in the owner's escrow account to
the taxes imposed and deliver a tax receipt to the owner.  The
collector shall apply the amount to each appropriate taxing unit in
proportion to the amount of taxes imposed, and the assessor of each
taxing unit shall apply the money received from the collector to
the taxes owed by the owner.  No penalties or interest shall be
assessed against an owner for property taxes which the owner has
previously paid but which are not delivered to the appropriate
taxing unit before the date on which such taxes become delinquent.
            "(i)  If the amount in the escrow account is not
sufficient to pay the taxes in full, the collector shall apply the
money to the taxes and deliver to the owner a tax receipt for the
partial payment and a tax bill for the amount of the deficiency
together with a statement that the owner must remit to the
collector the balance of the total tax due; however, no penalty or
interest shall be assessed against an owner for that portion of the
property taxes which represents the amount of the partial payment
if the amount of the deficiency is not paid before the date the
deficiency is delinquent."
      (2)  Add a new Section 4 to read as follows:
            "Section 4.  Sections 1 and 2 of this Act take effect
January 1, 2000, and apply only to an ad valorem tax year that
begins on or after that date.  Section 3 of this Act takes effect
September 1, 1999."
      (3)  Appropriately renumber the remaining section of HB
3197.
