Amend SJR 13 (house committee printing) as follows:                          
	(1)  Strike SECTION 1 of the joint resolution and substitute 
the following:  
	SECTION 1.  Section 1-b, Article VIII, Texas Constitution, 
is amended by adding Subsection (d-1) to read as follows:
	(d-1) Notwithstanding Subsection (d) of this section, the 
legislature by general law may provide for the reduction of the 
amount of a limitation provided by that subsection and applicable 
to a residence homestead for the 2007 tax year to reflect any 
reduction from the 2006 tax year in the tax rate for general 
elementary and secondary public school purposes applicable to the 
homestead.  A general law enacted under this subsection may also 
take into account any reduction in the tax rate for those purposes 
from the 2005 tax year to the 2006 tax year if the homestead was 
subject to the limitation in the 2006 tax year.  A general law 
enacted under this subsection may provide that, except as otherwise 
provided by Subsection (d) of this subsection, a limitation 
provided by that subsection that is reduced under the general law 
continues to apply to the residence homestead in subsequent tax 
years until the limitation expires.
	(2)  In SECTION 2 of the joint resolution, in Subsection (a) 
of the temporary provision of the Texas Constitution, between 
"taxes" and the underlined period (page 2, line 12), insert "for the 
2006 and 2007 tax years".
	(3)  In SECTION 2 of the joint resolution, in Subsection (b) 
of the temporary provision of the Texas Constitution (page 3, line 
14), strike "1-b(d)" and substitute "1-b".
	(4)  In SECTION 3 of the joint resolution, in the ballot 
proposition, between "taxes" and the period (page 4, line 3), 
insert "for the 2006 and 2007 tax years".
