      Amend CSHB 2912 as follows:
      On page 53, strike lines 14-19, and substitute new Section
5.707, Water Code to read as follows:
      Sec. 5.707.  TRANSFERABILITY OF APPROPRIATIONS AND FUNDS
DERIVED FROM FEES.  Notwithstanding any law that provides specific
purposes for which a fund, account, or revenue source may be used
and expended by the commission and that restricts the use of
revenues and balances by the commission, the commission may
transfer a percentage of appropriations from one appropriation item
to another appropriation item consistent with the General
Appropriations Act for any biennium authorizing the commission to
transfer a percentage of appropriations from one appropriation item
to another appropriation item.  The use of funds in dedicated
accounts under this section for purposes in addition to those
provided by statutes restricting their use may not exceed seven
percent or $20 million, whichever is less, of appropriations to the
commission in the General Appropriations Act for any biennium.  A
transfer of $500,000 or more from one appropriation item to another
appropriation item under this section must be approved by the
commission at an open meeting subject to Chapter 551, Government
Code.
