BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Chapter 322, Government Code, is amended by | ||

Sec. 322.0083. CERTAIN BUDGET COMPARISONS. (a) This | ||
section applies only to a biennial fiscal size-up report, or a | ||
comparable successor report if the board ceases preparing a fiscal | ||
size-up report, prepared by the board that compares appropriations | ||
made for one state fiscal biennium or year with the appropriations | ||
made for one or more other state fiscal bienniums or years. | ||
(b) The board in a report to which this section applies | ||
shall ensure that a consistent accounting methodology is used for | ||
purposes of the report by adjusting the reported amount of | ||
appropriations made by the legislature to a state agency or | ||
institution as necessary so that the appropriations made for each | ||
of the state fiscal bienniums or years being compared reflect the | ||
approved accounting methodology for the latest of the state fiscal | ||
bienniums or years being compared. | ||
