____.  EAGLE PASS DRIVER'S LICENSE OFFICE. Out of general revenue appropriated above to the Department of Public Safety, the Department of Public Safety shall allocate $8,000,000 for the state fiscal year ending August 31, 2020, to purchase or lease and furnish and equip a new driver's license office in the City of Eagle Pass.
