R E S O L U T I O N
	BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of 
Texas, 78th Legislature, Regular Session, 2003, That House Rule 13, 
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13, 
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to 
resolve the differences on Senate Bill No. 880, relating to the time 
allowed for disposition of certain charges regarding a violation of 
parole or other forms of release from prison, to consider and take 
action on the following matter:
	House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(1), is suspended to permit the 
committee to change text that is not in disagreement by 
substituting "41st" for "31st" in two places in Section 508.282(a), 
Government Code, to read as follows:
	(a)  Except as provided by Subsection (b), a parole panel, a 
designee of the board, or the department shall dispose of the 
charges against an inmate or person described by Section 
508.281(a):
		(1)  before the 41st [61st] day after the date on which:
			(A)  a warrant issued as provided by Section 
508.251 is executed, if the inmate or person is arrested only on a 
charge that the inmate or person has committed an administrative 
violation of a condition of release, and the inmate or person is not 
charged before the 41st [61st] day with the commission of an offense 
described by Section 508.2811(2)(B); or
			(B)  the sheriff having custody of an inmate or 
person alleged to have committed an offense after release notifies 
the department that:
				(i)  the inmate or person has discharged the 
sentence for the offense; or 
				(ii)  the prosecution of the alleged offense 
has been dismissed by the attorney representing the state in the 
manner provided by Article 32.02, Code of Criminal Procedure; or
		(2)  within a reasonable time after the date on which 
the inmate or person is returned to the custody of the department, 
if:
			(A)  immediately before the return the inmate or 
person was in custody in another state or in a federal correctional 
system; or
			(B)  the inmate or person is transferred to the 
custody of the department under Section 508.284.
	Explanation:  This change is necessary to provide adequate 
time for the disposition of certain charges for the violation of 
parole or other forms of release from prison.
