	SECTION ___.  (a)  Section 46.008, Education Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 46.008.  STANDARDS.  The commissioner shall establish 
standards for adequacy of school facilities.  The standards must 
include requirements related to [space,] educational adequacy[,] 
and construction quality.  The standards may not include 
requirements related to space or square footage for a facility or 
any part of a facility.  All new facilities [constructed after 
September 1, 1998,] must meet the standards to be eligible to be 
financed with state or local tax funds.

after the effective date of this Act is not required to meet 
requirements related to space established by the commissioner of 
education under Section 46.008, Education Code, as that provision 
existed before amendment by this Act.
