Amend CSHB 1 (house committee printing) by inserting the following appropriately-numbered SECTION and renumbering any subsequent SECTIONS and updating any cross-references accordingly:

SECTION ____. Notwithstanding the appropriations by this Act of unexpended balances in General Revenue Funds appropriated for the Office of the Governor, the State Preservation Board, the Office of the Attorney General, the Texas Legislature, and the Comptroller of Public Accounts as of August 31, 2011, those balances, in the amounts estimated by this Act, are appropriated to the Texas Education Agency, Strategy A.1.1: FSP-Equalized Operations. The Office of the Governor, the State Preservation Board, the Office of the Attorney General, the Texas Legislature, and the Comptroller of Public Accounts may not encumber their respective unexpended balances on or after March 1, 2011, and an encumbrance made after that date is void. In the event of a conflict between this rider and any other provision of this Act, this rider prevails.
