	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 2308.256(h), Government Code, is amended 
to read as follows:
	(h)  At least one of the members of a board appointed under 
Subsection (a) must be a veteran who:
		(1)  meets the qualifications required for the member 
under that subsection; and
		(2)  serves as a representative on the board for the  
interests of veterans in the workforce development area.
	SECTION 2.  (a)  The change in law made by this Act applies to 
a local workforce development board created on or after the 
effective date of this Act.  The chief elected officials 
responsible for appointing members to a local workforce development 
board created before the effective date of this Act shall appoint 
new members to the board that reflect the requirements of this Act 
as vacancies occur on the board or as the terms of members serving 
on the board on or before the effective date of this Act expire.
	(b)  If the change in law made by this Act by the amendment of 
Section 2308.256(h), Government Code, conflicts with federal law or 
would have the effect of invalidating a waiver granted under 
federal law, Section 2308.256(h), Government Code, as amended by 
this Act, is void and of no effect.
	SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
