Amend HB 2169 on page 2, lines 6-7, by striking Section 2 of 
the bill and substituting the following:
	SECTION 2. The change in law made by Section 824.601, 
Government Code, as amended by this Act, applies only to the payment 
of retirement benefits to a retiree who is first employed by a 
third-party entity on or after April 22, 2003.  The payment of 
retirement benefits to a retiree who was first employed by a 
third-party entity before April 22, 2003, is governed by the law in 
effect before the effective date of this Act, and the former law is 
continued in effect for that purpose.
