A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

read as follows:  
	(a)  A child support obligor who is more than 30 days 
delinquent in paying child support and a business entity in which 
the obligor is a sole proprietor, partner, shareholder, or owner 
with an ownership interest of at least 25 percent is not eligible 
to:
		(1)  receive payments from state funds under a contract 
to provide property, materials, or services; [or]
		(2)  receive a state-funded grant or loan, including a 
scholarship, a loan associated with an educational loan repayment 
program, and any other student financial assistance that is 
conditioned on the performance of some service obligation after 
graduation; or
		(3)  receive a federally funded educational loan that 
is administered by the state.
	SECTION 2.  (a)  This Act takes effect September 1, 2003.
