	Amend CSHB 2 in Article 2 of the bill, in Part B, by inserting 

the following new SECTION, appropriately numbered, and renumbering 

subsequent SECTIONS of Part B accordingly:

	SECTION 2B__.  Subchapter A, Chapter 322, Government Code, 

is amended by adding Section 322.0135 to read as follows:

	Sec. 322.0135.  LIST OF UNFUNDED LEGISLATIVE MANDATES 

APPLICABLE TO SCHOOL DISTRICTS. (a) In this section "legislative 

mandate" means a provision of a state statute that requires a school 

district to establish, expand, or modify an activity in a manner 

that requires an expenditure of revenue that would not have been 

required if the provision had not been enacted.

	(b)  Following each session of the legislature, the board 

shall publish a list of legislative mandates enacted during that 

legislative session for which the legislature has not provided 

reimbursement as described by Subsection (d). At the time the list 

is published, the board shall:

		(1)  remove from the list prepared following a previous 

legislative session a legislative mandate:

			(A)  for which the legislature has provided 

reimbursement as provided by Subsection (d); or

			(B)  that is no longer in effect; and                                 

		(2)  add to the list a legislative mandate from a 

previous legislative session for which reimbursement was provided 

as provided by Subsection (d) in the previous legislative session 

but for which reimbursement was not provided in the most recent 

regular session or in any subsequent special session.

	(c)  The board shall publish the list, updated as required by 

Subsection (b), not later than September 1 following a regular 

session and not later than the 90th day after the last day of a 

special session of the legislature.

	(d)  A legislative mandate is considered to be a mandate for 

which the legislature has provided reimbursement if the legislature 

appropriates or otherwise provides funds for a state fiscal year, 

other than revenue of the school district, estimated by the board to 

be sufficient to meet the cost of financing the expenditure 

incurred in the fiscal year by all affected school districts.

	(e)  The board shall deliver the list prepared under 

Subsection (b) to the secretary of state for publication in the 

Texas Register.
