Amend HB 936 on third reading by adding Section____.
      Section 2308.257 Recusal, Government Code, is amended to read
as follows:
<A member of a board shall avoid the appearance of conflict of
interest by not voting in a vote of the board that directly affects
the funding of the member's organization or of any organization the
member represents.>
      (a)    A member of a board shall avoid the appearance of
conflict of interest by not voting in, nor participating in, any
decision by the board regarding the provision of services by such
member, or any organization which that member directly represents,
nor on any matter which would provide direct financial benefit to
that member, the member's immediate family, or any organization
which that member directly represents.
      (b)    Subsection (a) shall serve as a minimum standard and
shall not be construed as to limit the Board's authority for more
restrictive governance to prevent real and/or apparent conflict of
interest.
