Amend SB 913 by striking all below the enacting clause and
substituting the following:
      SECTION 1.  Subchapter H, Chapter 201, Transportation Code,
is amended by adding Section 201.613 to read as follows:
      Sec. 201.613.  ONE-STOP BORDER INSPECTION STATIONS.  (a)  The
department may establish one or more inspection stations at or near
a border crossing from Mexico so that all state agencies that
regulate the passage of motor vehicles into the state may be
located in one place in proximity to federal agencies that regulate
imports, exports, and commercial motor vehicles at border
crossings.
      (b)  The department may enter an agreement with a federal or
state agency to accomplish the purpose of Subsection (a).  The
agreement may:
            (1)  provide for the construction of new facilities or
the expansion of existing facilities to accommodate the state
agencies;
            (2)  allocate maintenance responsibilities to the state
agencies located in the inspection station; or
            (3)  involve the lease of space in an inspection
station by the department to a participating state agency.
      (c)  The department shall seek any available federal funding
for the construction and maintenance of an inspection station under
this section, including funds available under the federal
Transportation Equity Act for the 21st Century.  Notwithstanding
Section 222.001, the department may spend any federal funds
obtained under this section and any required state matching funds
for the construction or maintenance of an inspection station.
      (d)  The department may impose a charge on a state agency
located in an inspection station in an amount necessary to recover
all or any portion of the costs of the construction or maintenance
of the inspection station.  Money received by the department under
this section shall be deposited to the credit of the state highway
fund.
      SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
      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.
