The state ceiling for Texas, imposed by the Tax Act for calendar year 1992 is $867,450,000.

Issuers of state-voted issues will have 17.5% of the state ceiling available. Issuers of qualified small issue bonds will have 7.5% of the state ceiling available. Issuers of qualified residential rental project issue bonds will have 5.0% of the state ceiling available. All other issuers of bonds requiring an allocation will have 42% of the state ceiling available. Pursuant to the Act, the aggregate amount for qualified mortgage bonds in Subceiling 1 is $242,886,000 with $161,924,000 available to local issuers and $80,962,000 available to the Housing Finance Division of the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.

Section 1. H.B. 1, Acts of the Seventy-second Legislature, First Called Session, 1991, appropriates federal funds, including Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Block Grant funds, to the Texas Commission on Alcohol and Drug Abuse (TCADA). Section 2. H.B. 93, Acts of the Seventy-second Legislature, Second Called Session, 1991, in Section 22.01(c) directs that block grant funds received by TCADA in excess $60.5 million in each year of the 1992-93 biennium shall be expended by TCADA only for the purpose of the operation of treatment programming at the substance abuse felony punishment facilities authorized by H.B. No. 93 under Section 493.009, Government Code. Section 3. The Legislative Budget Board finds that unless increased funds are made available to TCADA for prevention, intervention, and treatment services, many children and adolescents will be denied those services and therfore, an emergency exists. Section 4. Pursuant to Chapter 317, Government Code, the Legislative Budget Board proposes that during the fiscal year beginning September 1, 1991, TCADA be authorized to use $1,608,116 of those funds in excess of $60.5 million from the Alcohol, Drug Abuse, and Mental Health Block Grant for the purpose of providing prevention, intervention, and treatment services. I certify that this Budget Execution Proposal was adopted by the Legislative Budget Board on November 18, 1991 by the following vote: On the part of the Senate Yeas: 4 Nays: 0 On the part of the House Yeas: 3 Nays: 0 Issued in Austin, Texas, on January 1, 1992. TRD-9200016 Ann W. Richards Governor Legislative Budget Board Filed: January 2, 1992 For further information, please call: (512) 463-1778 Relating to appropriations to the Texas Agriculture Experiment Station, finding that an emergency exists, and proposing that funds be transferred to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. Section 1. S.B. No. 254, Acts of the Seventy-second Legislature, R.S., 1991, transferred responsibility for the Pullorum Disease and Fowl Typhoid Control Program from the Texas Agricultural Experiment Station to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory. However, the General Appropriations Act for the 1992-93 Biennium provides funding for the program ($443,451 from General Revenue) in the experiment station rather than the diagnostic laboratory. Section 2. The Legislative Budget Board finds that the intent of the legislature was to provide funding for the program in accordance with the transfer of responsibility accomplished by S.B. No. 254, and an emergency exists. Section 3. Pursuant to Chapter 317, Government Code, the Legislative Budget Board proposes that on the effective date of this Budget Execution Proposal, the Comptroller of Public Accounts shall determine the amount of the unobligated balance in funds appropriated to the Texas A&M Agriculture Experiment Station and designated for the Pullorum Disease and Fowl Typhoid Control Program and shall transfer those balances to the Texas Veterinary Medical Diagnostic Laboratory to be used for the same purpose. I certify that this Budget Execution Proposal was adopted by the Legislative Budget Board on November 18, 1991 by the following vote: On the part of the Senate Yeas: 5 Nays: 0 On the part of the House Yeas: 4 Nays: 0 Issued in Austin, Texas, on January 1, 1992.

Richards Governor Legislative Budget Board Filed: January 2, 1992 For further information, please call: (512) 463-1778 Relating to appropriations to the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine, finding that an emergency exists, and proposing that part of the funds appropriated be used for a purpose different from the purpose for which the appropriation was made. Section 1. H.B. No. 1, Acts of the Seventy-second Legislature, First Called Session, 1991, appropriates General Revenue Funds to the Texas College of Osteopathic Medicine (TCOM) and, by rider, designates a certain amount as a Capital Budget Item for "Acquisition of Information Resource Technologies." Section 2. It was the intent of the Legislature that $377,000 of the funds designated for "Acquisition of Information Resource Technologies" be used for salaries and operating expenses rather than capital outlay. Section 3. The Legislative Budget Board finds that unless funds are made available for salaries and operating expenses, the project cannot be completed and therefore, an emergency exists. Section 4. Pursuant to Chapter 317, Government Code, the Legislative Budget Board proposes that, out of those funds designated as a Capital Budget Item and described "Acquisition of Information Resource Technologies," TCOM be authorized to use $377,000 for salaries and operating expenses. I certify that this Budget Execution Proposal was adopted by the Legislative Budget Board on November 18, 1991 by the following vote: On the part of the Senate Yeas: 4 Nays: 0 On the part of the House Yeas: 4 Nays: 0 Issued in Austin, Texas, on January 1, 1992.
