Amend HB 82 by adding a new SECTION 18 as follows and 
renumbering the remaining section accordingly:
	"SECTION 18.  The Texas Building and Procurement Commission 
shall conduct an analysis to determine whether the cost of using 
charter and commercial aircraft services to provide passenger 
transportation to state officers and employees is more 
cost-effective than the services provided by the State Aircraft 
Pooling Board.  In conducting the analysis, the Commission shall 
use the rates already adopted by the State Aircraft Pooling Board 
for Fiscal Year 2004 and shall take into consideration the costs of 
meals, lodging, and other allowable travel expenses incurred when 
an overnight stay is required as a result of charter or commercial 
aircraft scheduling.  The Commission shall complete its analysis 
and report its findings to the 79th Texas Legislature no later than 
January 15, 2005."
