substituting the following:
SECTION 3. PREVENTION OF DOUBLE RECOVERY OR DOUBLE
REIMBURSEMENT. (a) The purpose of this section is to prevent
double recovery or double reimbursement for the same
hurricane-related cost or expenditure.
(b) If the Texas State University System, Lamar University
or one of its related institutions, or another state agency,
institution, or office receives reimbursement from the federal
government for expenditures made for a purpose described by Section

federal reimbursement described by this subsection shall be
deposited in the state treasury and is considered to be undedicated
general revenue.

and the Legislative Budget Board consider the money described by
Subsection (b) of this section to be available for budget execution
transfers to the extent that the governor and the Legislative
Budget Board determine that the federal reimbursement covers the
same costs or expenditures as those covered by the appropriation
made by Section 2 of this Act.
