         (c-1)  The total aggregate reduction of $2,409,840,356 in

  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

  federal funds under the CARES Act and other federal sources and
  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

  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.
         SECTION 2.  TRUSTEED PROGRAMS WITHIN THE OFFICE OF THE
