CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
WHEREAS, Section 316.092, Government Code, sets out the
following in the subchapter "Preservation of Sufficient Balance in
Economic Stabilization Fund":
"(d) When the select committee has adopted under Subsection
(b) the amount of the sufficient balance of the fund for a state
fiscal biennium, the matter of approving that amount shall be
presented to each house of the legislature in a concurrent
resolution during the next succeeding regular legislative session.
The resolution must be presented for a vote in each house of the
legislature not later than the 30th day of that legislative
session, must be approved by a vote of a majority of the members of
each house, and must be finally approved by each house not later
than the 45th day of that legislative session. If a resolution
finally approved under this subsection is amended during the
legislative process to provide for a different sufficient balance
of the fund than that adopted under Subsection (b), that different
balance is the sufficient balance adopted under this section for
purposes of Section 316.093 [Adjustment of Constitutional
Allocations to (Economic Stabilization) Fund and State Highway
Fund]. If a resolution finally approved under this subsection does
not provide for a different sufficient balance of the fund or if a
resolution is not finally approved as provided by this subsection,
the sufficient balance adopted under Subsection (b) is the
sufficient balance adopted under this section for purposes of
Section 316.093"; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the 86th Legislature of the State of Texas
hereby express its continuing support for the process set out in
Section 316.092, Government Code, and honor the intent of the law
relating to the Sufficient Balance for the Economic Stabilization
Fund.
