Amend CSHB 31 (house committee printing) by striking SECTION 3 of the bill (page 1, line 14) and substituting the following appropriately numbered SECTION of the bill:

SECTION ____.  This Act takes effect January 1, 2016, but only if the comptroller of public accounts certifies that no portion of any revenue of, or money received by, this state, or any account or fund balance, that by law has been dedicated to a particular purpose or entity was considered as available for the purpose of certifying the budget for the state fiscal biennium ending August 31, 2017, as required by Section 49a, Article III, Texas Constitution. If the comptroller of public accounts does not make that certification, this Act has no effect.
