section is contingent on the receipt by this state of at least | ||
$2,409,840,356 in federal funds under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, | ||
and Economic Security Act (CARES Act) (15 U.S.C. Section 9001 et | ||
seq.) and other federal sources, and is further contingent on the | ||
provision of grants by the office of the governor to the agencies | ||
listed under Subsection (c) of this section to be used by the | ||
agencies for salaries of employees and provided related benefits | ||
which would have otherwise been paid during the state fiscal year | ||
ending August 31, 2021, from appropriations made by Chapter 1353 | ||
(H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th Legislature, Regular Session, 2019 (the | ||

provided in grants by the governor to the agencies listed under | ||
Subsection (c) of this section, the amount of the appropriation | ||
reduction from the general revenue fund and dedicated accounts in | ||
the general revenue fund required under Subsection (c) of this | ||
section is decreased for each agency listed in an amount equal to | ||
the difference between the amount of the appropriation reduction | ||
listed under Subsection (c) of this section for that agency and the | ||
amount of the grants received by that agency from the office of the | ||
governor, for a total aggregate decrease of appropriation | ||
reductions from the general revenue fund and dedicated accounts in | ||
the general revenue fund required under Subsection (c) of this | ||
section in an amount equal to the difference between $2,409,840,356 | ||
and the total amount received by this state in federal funds under | ||
the CARES Act and other federal sources and distributed to the | ||
agencies under Subsection (c) of this section by the governor. The | ||
agencies listed under Subsection (c) of this section shall, in | ||
consultation with the comptroller of public accounts and the | ||
Legislative Budget Board, determine the allocation of benefits | ||
included in the decreased appropriation reductions provided under | ||
this subsection. Each of the agencies listed under Subsection (c) | ||
of this section shall identify the strategies and objectives out of | ||
which the decrease of appropriation reductions are made. | ||
(c-2) The appropriations made for use during the fiscal year | ||
ending August 31, 2023, by S.B. 1, Acts of the 87th Legislature, | ||
Regular Session, 2021 (the General Appropriations Act), from the | ||
general revenue fund and dedicated accounts in the general revenue | ||
fund for each agency listed under Subsection (c) of this section are | ||
reduced by an amount equal to the decrease of appropriation | ||
reductions calculated for each agency as provided under Subsection | ||
(c-1) of this section. Each of the agencies listed under Subsection | ||
(c) of this section shall identify the strategies and objectives | ||
out of which the indicated reductions in unencumbered amounts | ||
appropriated to the agency from the general revenue fund and | ||
dedicated accounts in the general revenue fund are made. | ||
(d) This subsection applies only to a state agency or | ||
institution of higher education the appropriations to which are | ||
reduced under Subsection (c) of this section. Notwithstanding any | ||
other provision of Chapter 1353 (H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th | ||
Legislature, Regular Session, 2019 (the General Appropriations | ||
Act), a grant of federal money received from the Office of the | ||
Governor by a state agency or institution of higher education to | ||
which this section applies shall be: | ||
(1) treated as general revenue for the purpose of | ||
calculating benefits in accordance with Section 6.08, Article IX, | ||
of that Act; and | ||
(2) eligible for proportional general revenue | ||
benefits as if the appropriations from general revenue were not | ||
reduced for the state agency or institution of higher education | ||
under Subsection (c) of this section. | ||
(e) It is the intent of the legislature that federal funds | ||
appropriated in accordance with Section 13.01, Article IX, of | ||
Chapter 1353 (H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th Legislature, Regular | ||
Session, 2019 (the General Appropriations Act), to a state agency | ||
or institution of higher education be used by the agency or | ||
institution for the purpose of avoiding reductions to the provision | ||
of important government services as a result of the reduction in the | ||
amount appropriated to the agency or institution from the general | ||
revenue fund or a dedicated account in the general revenue fund | ||
under Subsection (c) of this section. | ||
(f) It is the intent of the legislature that lapsed | ||
appropriations associated with appropriations made by Chapter 1353 | ||
(H.B. 1), Acts of the 86th Legislature, Regular Session, 2019 (the | ||
General Appropriations Act), from the general revenue fund or from | ||
dedicated accounts in the general revenue fund to a state agency or | ||
institution of higher education for the state fiscal year ending | ||
August 31, 2020, be used to offset the total amount of reductions | ||
required by Subsections (a) and (b) of this section for the | ||
applicable agency or institution. The offset is contingent upon | ||
approval by the comptroller of public accounts and the Legislative | ||
Budget Board. | ||
