Amend CSSB 1, under Article XI, Sec. 1, Article IX, by adding 
the following appropriately numbered rider:
	Sec. 17. ____.  Contingency for Juvenile Pilot Program.  
Contingent on the enactment of ____, or similar legislation 
relating to the creation of the Texas Juvenile Justice Department 
and establishment of a juvenile pilot program by the Eighty-first 
Legislature, Regular Session, the Texas Juvenile Justice 
Department is appropriated $12,500,000 in fiscal year 2010 and 
$12,500,000 in fiscal year 2011 in General Revenue Funds to 
implement pilot programs in counties with a population of 350,000 
or greater, according to the most recent federal census.  These 
funds may only be used for non-profit or faith-based private 
providers for innovative juvenile justice and family programs or 
other specialized programs.  These funds shall be awarded through a 
competitive process and may only be used for providers that 
demonstrate experience in effective program delivery and the 
ability to quantify a program's effectiveness.  The pilot program 
is intended to ensure that counties keep lower-risk offenders 
eligible for commitment to the Texas Juvenile Justice Department in 
their home communities and out of state confinement.  These funds 
shall not be used by local juvenile probation departments for 
salary increases or costs associated with the employment of staff.  
These funds shall not be used to supplant existing expenditures 
associated with programs, services, and residential placement of 
youth within the local juvenile probation departments.
