Printing, page 1, lines 13 and 14) and substituting a new SECTION 1
to read as follows:
SECTION 1. Section 11.085(s), Water Code, is amended to read
as follows:
(s) Any proposed transfer of all or a portion of a water
right under this section is junior in priority to water rights
granted before the time application for transfer is accepted for
filing. This subsection does not apply to a transfer of water:

state and another state; or
(2) from a reservoir to a public or private entity
located outside the basin in which the reservoir is located if the
entity assisted in financing the construction of the reservoir.
