Amend HB 2006 (House committee report), as follows:                          
	(1)  On page 8, between lines 14 and 15, insert the 
following:               
	SECTION 8.  Section 21.042, Property Code, is amended to 
read as follows:    
	(e)  If a portion of a tract or parcel of real property is 
condemned for the use, construction, operation, or maintenance of 
the state highway system or of a county toll project described by 
Chapter 284, Transportation Code, that is eligible for designation 
as part of the state highway system, the special commissioners 
shall consider any diminished access to the highway and to or from 
the remaining property to the extent that it affects the present 
market value of the real property, including any factors considered 
when determining actual fair market value of property for ad 
valorem tax purposes [or for the use, construction, development, 
operation, or maintenance of an improvement or project by a 
metropolitan rapid transit authority created before January 1, 
1980, with a principal municipality having a population of less 
than 1.9 million and established under Chapter 451, Transportation 
Code, the special commissioners shall determine the damage to the 
property owner regardless of whether the property owner makes a 
claim for damages to the remaining property.  In awarding 
compensation or assessing the damages, the special commissioners 
shall consider any special and direct benefits that arise from the 
highway improvement or the transit authority improvement or project 
that are peculiar to the property owner and that relate to the 
property owner's ownership, use, or enjoyment of the particular 
parcel of remaining real property].
	(2)  Renumber subsequent sections accordingly.
