  comptroller has agreed to an extension [before the 151st day after
  the date the application is filed, unless the economic impact
  evaluation has not been received or an extension is agreed to by the
  governing body and the applicant].
         (b-1)  The comptroller shall [indicate on one copy of the
  application the date the comptroller received the application and]
  deliver a [that] copy of an application received by the comptroller
  to the Texas Education Agency. The Texas Education Agency shall
  determine the effect that the applicant's proposal will have on the
  number or size of the school district's instructional facilities
  and the projected effect on the Foundation School Program of
  payments to the district for each year of the agreement [, as
  required to be included in the economic impact evaluation by
  Section 313.026(a)(9), and submit a written report containing the
  agency's determination to the comptroller]. The governing body of
  the school district shall provide any requested information to the
  Texas Education Agency. Not later than the 45th day after the date
  the Texas Education Agency receives the information necessary to
  make the determinations required by this subsection [application
  indicates that the comptroller received the application], the
  agency [Texas Education Agency] shall make the required
  determinations [determination] and submit a [the agency's] written
  report containing the agency's determinations to the comptroller. A

  comptroller shall submit a recommendation to the governing body of
  the school district as to whether the application should be
  approved or disapproved.
         (f)  The governing body may approve an application only if:
               (1)  the comptroller submits a recommendation to the
  governing body that the application be approved; and
               (2)  the governing body finds that the information in
  the application is true and correct, finds that the applicant is
  eligible for the limitation on the appraised value of the person's
  qualified property, and determines that granting the application is
  in the best interest of the school district and this state.
         (f-1)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter
  to the contrary, including Section 313.003(2) or 313.004(3)(A) or
  (B)(iii), the governing body of a school district may waive the new
  jobs creation requirement in Section 313.021(2)(A)(iv)(b) [or
  313.051(b)] and approve an application if the governing body makes
  a finding that the jobs creation requirement exceeds the industry
  standard for the number of employees reasonably necessary for the
  operation of the facility of the property owner that is described in
  the application.

  to read as follows:
         (m)  Subsection (d)(9) [(d)(10)] does not apply to property
