SENATE RESOLUTION
	BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 78th 
Legislature, Regular Session, 2003, That Senate Rule 12.03 be 
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the 
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on 
House Bill No. 2044, relating to the powers and duties of the 
General Land Office and the accounting and disposition of 
state-owned real property, to consider and take action on the 
following matter:
	Senate Rule 12.03(1) is suspended to permit the committee 
to amend text that is not in disagreement in SECTION 16 of the 
bill, in Section 31.1572, Natural Resources Code, as added by the 
bill, to read as follows:
	Sec. 31.1572.  REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BY PARKS AND 
WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT PROHIBITED IN CERTAIN AREAS.  (a)  The Parks 
and Wildlife Department may not offer for sale real property it 
owns or controls if the real property is located in a county:
		(1)  with a population of one million or more; and                     
		(2)  in which at least two municipalities with a 
population of 300,000 or more are located.
	(b)  This section expires September 1, 2004.                            
	Explanation: The changed text is necessary to narrow the 
scope of the authority granted to the Parks and Wildlife 
Department to dispose of state-owned real property.
