Sec. 17.____. Contingent Across-the-Board Reductions. (a) Subsection (b) of this section takes effect only if the 83rd Legislature in a regular or called session makes an appropriation of money from the economic stabilization fund for the purpose of financing water infrastructure or water development or conservation and the appropriation of that money results in a total amount of appropriations from state tax revenues not dedicated by the Texas Constitution that exceeds the limit on the amount of appropriations from state tax revenues not dedicated by the Texas Constitution, as adopted under Chapter 316, Government Code, for the 2014-2015 fiscal biennium irrespective of whether the legislature adopts a resolution under Section 22(b), Article VIII, Texas Constitution, that authorizes the legislature to provide for appropriations in excess of that amount.

(b)  Notwithstanding the amounts appropriated by other provisions of this Act, each appropriation made by this Act of state tax revenues not dedicated by the Texas Constitution is reduced by the same proportionate amount so that the total reduction of the appropriations is equal to the amount by which the appropriation from the economic stabilization fund described by Subsection (a) of this section results in a total amount of appropriations from state tax revenues not dedicated by the Texas Constitution that exceeds the limit on the amount of appropriations from state tax revenues not dedicated by the Texas Constitution, as adopted under Chapter 316, Government Code, for the 2014-2015 fiscal biennium irrespective of whether the legislature adopts a resolution under Section 22(b), Article VIII, Texas Constitution.
