	(1)  On page 1, lines 20-21, strike "Subject to the

if]," and substitute "If [Except as provided by Subsection (b), 
if]".
	(2)  On page 2, lines 1-3, strike "To the extent of a conflict

	(3)  On page 2, lines 4-26, strike Subsections (b) and (c), 
and substitute the following:
	(b)  A municipality that seeks to extend a certificate of 
public convenience and necessity beyond the municipality's 
extraterritorial jurisdiction must ensure that the municipality 
complies with Section 13.241 in relation to the area covered by the 
portion of the certificate that extends beyond the municipality's 
extraterritorial jurisdiction.
	(c)  The commission, after notice to the municipality and an 
opportunity for a hearing, may decertify an area outside a 
municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction if the municipality 
does not provide service to the area on or before the fifth 
anniversary of the date the certificate of public convenience and 
necessity was granted for the area.  This subsection does not apply 
to a certificate of public convenience and necessity for an area:
		(1)  that was transferred to a municipality on approval 
of the commission; and
		(2)  in relation to which the municipality has spent 
public funds.   
	(d)  To the extent of a conflict between this section and 
Section 13.245, Section 13.245 prevails. [The commission may not 
extend a municipality's certificate of public convenience and 
necessity beyond its extraterritorial jurisdiction without the 
written consent of the landowner who owns the property in which the 
certificate is to be extended.  The portion of any certificate of 
public convenience and necessity that extends beyond the 
extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality without the 
consent of the landowner is void.]
