      Strike all below the enacting clause and replace it with the
following:
      SECTION 1.  Chapter 783, Government Code, is amended by
adding Section 783.009 to read as follows:
      Sec. 783.009.  MATCHING FUND WAIVER FOR ECONOMICALLY
DISADVANTAGED COUNTY OR CENSUS TRACT.  (a)  In this section,
"economically disadvantaged county" means a county that has a per
capita taxable property tax value that is less than one-half the
average per capita taxable property value of counties in the state
or, in comparison to other counties in the state, has:
            (1)  below average per capita taxable property value;
            (2)  below average per capita income; and
            (3)  above average unemployment.
      (b)  In this section, "economically disadvantaged census
tract" means a census tract delineated by the U.S. Bureau of the
Census in the most recent decennial census in which the median
family income is reported by the U.S. Bureau of the Census to be
less than 80 percent of the area median family income.
      (c)  Except as provided by subsection (d), a state agency
may, for an economically disadvantaged county or economically
disadvantaged census tract, adjust any matching funds requirement
that is otherwise a condition for a county to receive a grant or
other form of financial assistance from the agency.
      (d)  This section does not apply to the Texas Transportation
Commission or to waivers or adjustments of matching funds
requirements granted by the Texas Department of Transportation or
governed by subsection (a), Section 222.053, Transportation Code.
      (e)  Each agency shall include information about its use of
waivers or adjustments to matching funds requirements in its annual
report.  The information shall include the disposition of each
instance where a waiver or adjustment is requested or considered.
      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 from and after its
passage, and it is so enacted.
