Education Coordinating Board (page XI-17) by adding the following
appropriately numbered rider and renumbering subsequent riders
accordingly:
CONTINGENCY APPROPRIATION: BILL ENACTING FEE ON TELEPHONE
BILLS. Contingent on enactment and becoming law of legislation
enacting a fee on telecommunications bills, there is appropriated
to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board all amounts
collected from the fee during the 2006-2007 fiscal biennium. The

jurisdiction FY 2006-2007 Formula and Non-Formula Funding to FY

restore all funding, the Coordinating Board shall prioritize the
funding according to a study of greatest need conducted by the
Coordinating Board and delivered to the Legislative Budget Board.
