Amend CSHB 2292 as follows:                                                  
	On page 122, strike subsection (a) and substitute the 
following:             
	"(a) Except as provided by Section 31.0033 and 
notwithstanding any other law, a person for whom the department has 
made a determination of eligibility for financial assistance and 
for whom an initial payment of that assistance has been made may not 
receive any subsequent monthly payments of assistance for the 
person or the person's family until the person cooperates with the 
requirements of the responsibility agreement under Section 
31.0031.  The person and the person's family may receive a financial 
assistance payment each month only if the person cooperated with 
those requirements during the previous month.
	(2) On Page 123 and 124, strike subsection (a) and substitute 
the following: 
	"(a) If the department or title IV-D agency determines that a 
person has failed to cooperate with the requirements of the 
responsibility agreement under Section 31.0031 during a one-month 
period [penalties and sanctions should be applied under Section 
31.0032], the person determined to have failed to cooperate [not 
complied] or, if different, the person receiving the financial 
assistance may request a hearing to show good cause for failure to 
cooperate [noncompliance] not later than the 13th day after the 
date on which notice is received under Section 31.0032.  If the 
person determined to have failed to cooperate or, if different, the 
person receiving the financial assistance requests a hearing to 
show good cause not later than the 13th day after the date on which 
notice is received under Section 31.0032, the department may not 
withhold or reduce the payment of financial assistance until the 
31st day after the department receives the request, provided the 
department completes the hearing before the 31st day, or the date 
the hearing is completed. On a showing for good cause for failure 
to cooperate [noncompliance], the person may receive a financial 
assistance payment for the month in which the person failed to 
cooperate [sanctions may not be imposed].
