Amend CSSB 758 by adding the following appropriately numbered 
sections and renumbering the sections of the bill accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Section 102.004(a), Family Code, is amended 
to read as follows:
	(a)  In addition to the general standing to file suit 
provided by Section 102.003, a grandparent, or another relative of 
the child related within the third degree by consanguinity, may 
file an original suit requesting managing conservatorship if there 
is satisfactory proof to the court that:
		(1)  the order requested is necessary because the 
child's present circumstances would significantly impair the 
child's physical health or emotional development; or
		(2)  both parents, the surviving parent, or the 
managing conservator or custodian either filed the petition or 
consented to the suit.
	SECTION ____.  The change in law made by this Act to Section 
102.004, Family Code, applies only to an original suit affecting 
the parent-child relationship filed on or after the effective 
date of this Act.  An original suit affecting the


parent-child relationship filed before the effective date of this 
Act is governed by the law in effect on the date that the suit was 
filed, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
