         BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of
  Texas, 83rd Legislature, Regular Session, 2013, That House Rule 13,
  Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13,

  resolve the differences on Senate Bill 281 (administration and
  powers of the Red River Authority of Texas) to consider and take
  action on the following matter:
         House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(3), is suspended to permit the
  committee to add text on a matter which is not in disagreement by
  adding text in SECTION 3 of the bill, in added Section 19a, Chapter
  279, Acts of the 56th Legislature, Regular Session, 1959, to read as
  follows:
         Sec. 19a.  The Authority may purchase groundwater rights in
  a county in the Authority's territory only if:
               (1)  there is a groundwater conservation district that
  has jurisdiction over water wells located in the county; or
               (2)  in the case where a county is not in the
  jurisdiction of a groundwater conservation district, the
  commissioners court of the county approves the purchase of
  groundwater rights by the Authority in the county.
         Explanation: This change is necessary to clarify under what
  conditions the Red River Authority of Texas may purchase
  groundwater rights.
