Amend HB 51 on page 3, between lines 20 and 21, by inserting 
the following:
	(e)  In preparing the report under this section, the select 
committee shall pay particular attention to identifying overhead 
costs to the Texas Department of Criminal Justice and overhead 
costs to private contractors, and shall present that information in 
a manner that provides for meaningful comparisons of costs of 
providing correctional services.  The overhead costs described by 
this subsection include medical costs, transportation costs, 
facilities and maintenance costs, and similar costs.  The report 
must also identify any increase in costs to the Texas Department of 
Criminal Justice for items described by this subsection in the 
event that some or all of the functions described by those items are 
performed under contract.
