	Amend CSSB 1 (House Committee Printing) in Article V of the 
bill as follows:
	(1)  Add the following appropriately numbered rider under 
the appropriations to the Juvenile Probation Commission:
	____.  Diversion Pilot Program in Harris County.  In addition 
to any other amounts appropriated by this Act to the Juvenile 
Probation Commission, the amount of $20,376,125 is appropriated out 
of the General Revenue Fund for the fiscal year ending August 31, 
2010, and the amount of $21,664,754 is appropriated out of the 
General Revenue Fund for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011, to 
the commission for the purpose of providing pilot programs through 
the Harris County Juvenile Probation Department for the diversion 
of youth from the Youth Commission (TYC).  The pilot programs may 
include, but are not limited to, residential, community-based, 
family, and aftercare programs.
	These funds may not be used by local juvenile probation 
departments for salary increases or costs associated with the 
employment of staff hired prior to September 1, 2009.  These funds 
may not be used to supplant existing expenditures associated with 
programs, services, and residential placement of youth within the 
local juvenile probation departments.
	The Harris County Juvenile Probation Department shall report 
to the Juvenile Probation Commission (JPC) regarding the use of the 
funds within thirty days after the end of each quarter. JPC shall 
report to the Legislative Budget Board regarding the use of the 
funds within thirty days after receipt of each county's quarterly 
report.  Items to be included in the report include, but are not 
limited to, the amount of funds expended, the number of youth served 
by the pilot program, the types of programs for which the funds were 
used, and the number of youth committed to TYC.
	The Juvenile Probation Commission shall develop a mechanism 
for tracking youth served by the pilot program to determine the 
long-term success for diverting youth from TYC and the adult 
criminal justice system.  A report on the program's results shall be 
submitted to the Legislative Budget Board by December 1 of each 
year.
	(2)  In the appropriations for the Youth Commission, reduce 
the appropriation for Strategy A.1.2., Institutional Services 
(page V-54), by $20,376,125 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 
2010, and $21,664,754 for the fiscal year ending August 31, 2011.
