Amend HB 1082 by inserting the following appropriately 
numbered SECTION and renumbering subsequent SECTIONS 
appropriately:
	SECTION ___.  (a)  Section 6.025, Tax Code, is amended by 
adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
	(d)  If on May 1 all the chief appraisers of the appraisal 
districts described by Subsection (a) in which a parcel or item of 
property is located are not in agreement as to the appraised or 
market value of the property, on that date each of the chief 
appraisers shall enter as the appraised or market value of the 
property on the appraisal records of the appropriate appraisal 
district the lowest appraised or market value of the property as 
determined by any of the chief appraisers.  If as a result of a 
protest, appeal, or other action the appraised or market value of 
the property is subsequently reduced in any of the appraisal 
districts, the chief appraiser shall notify each of the appraisal 
districts of the reduced appraised or market value.  The chief 
appraiser of each appraisal district shall enter that reduced 
appraised or market value on the appraisal records as the appraised 
or market value of the property.  If the appraised or market value 
is reduced in more than one appraisal district, each chief 
appraiser shall enter the lowest of those values on the appraisal 
records.
	(b)  This section takes effect January 1, 2004, and applies 
only to the appraisal for ad valorem tax purposes of property for a 
tax year that begins on or after that date.
