	Amend Section 3, HB 2572 on third reading by striking 
existing subsection (c) (as added in second reading - Floor 
Amendment #4) in Sec. 533.0355, and replacing it with the 
following:
	(c)  In determining eligibility under (b)(3) an authority 
must offer a state school as an option among the residential 
services available to an individual who is eligible for those 
services and who meets the department's criteria for state school 
admission, regardless of whether other residential services are 
available to the individual.  The Community Mental Health and 
Mental Retardation Centers must document the number of individuals 
who are eligible for state school services under the department's 
criteria, the number of individuals  who meet eligibility who are 
requesting state school admissions, and the number of individuals 
who meet eligibility criteria who are referred for state school 
services.  The HHSC will adopt rules related to the performance 
criteria required of the Community Mental Health and Mental 
Retardation Centers regarding the provision of information related 
to services and referral for services.
