Amend CSSB 1 in Article II of the bill by adding the following
appropriately numbered rider following the appropriations to the
Health and Human Services Commission:
____. Human Resources Functions. The Health and Human
Services Commission may not use funds appropriated by this Act to
fund a contract entered into or renewed during the 2009-2011 state
fiscal biennium for the performance by a private entity of human
resources functions for the commission, a health and human services
agency, as defined by Section 531.001, Government Code, or a state
school, or to purchase those services for that state fiscal
biennium from a private entity in a manner other than by contract.
The commission shall use funds appropriated for Goal A, HHS

human resources divisions in the commission and in each health and
human services agency to perform human resources functions for the
applicable agency. The division established in the Department of
Aging and Disability Services shall also perform human resources
functions for the state schools and employees of state schools.
