	Amend CSSB 1 in Article XI after the provisions for the Higher 
Education Coordinating Board (page XI-17) by adding the following 
appropriately numbered rider and renumbering subsequent riders 
accordingly:
	CONTINGENCY APPROPRIATION:  BILL ENACTING FEE ON TELEPHONE 
BILLS.  Contingent on enactment and becoming law of legislation 
enacting a fee on telecommunications bills, there is appropriated 
to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board all amounts 
collected from the fee during the 2006-2007 fiscal biennium.  The 
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board may use the appropriated 
money only to restore for universities under the board's 
jurisdiction FY 2006-2007 Formula and Non-Formula Funding to FY

restore all funding, the Coordinating Board shall prioritize the 
funding according to a study of greatest need conducted by the 
Coordinating Board and delivered to the Legislative Budget Board.
