BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 2306.111, Government Code, is amended by | ||
adding Subsection (j) to read as follows: | ||

administered by the department, including financial assistance | ||
from the proceeds of bonds issued by the department, is: | ||
(1) a citizen of the United States; or | ||
(2) authorized to be present in the United States by | ||
the United States agency responsible for citizenship and | ||
immigration. | ||

continued in effect for that purpose. | ||
