42.152(u) in Section 19 of the bill on page 18, lines 16-26:
	(u)  For the 2003-2004 and 2004-2005 school years, 
notwithstanding the allotments and reductions otherwise required 
or permitted by this section or Section 39.031, the legislature may 
in the General Appropriations Act reduce the total amount of 
funding for the compensatory education allotment by not more than 
the sum of all of the changes, made to programs funded through 
deductions to the compensatory education allotment to which a 
district is otherwise entitled under Subsection (a), under House 
Bill 1, Acts of the 78th Legislature.  After deducting the amount of 
a reduction made as provided by this subsection from the total 
amount computed for the allotment under Subsection (a), the 
commissioner shall:
(1)  reduce each district's tier one allotments in the 
same manner described for a reduction in allotments under Section 
42.253; and
(2)  allocate funds to each district accordingly.                        

This provision expires on September 1, 2005.
