and INSERT the following paragraph in lieu of:

Funds   in   Specific   Appropriation   169  reflect  a  fund  shift  of
$14,141,917 from  the  General Revenue Fund to the Grants and Donations
Trust  Fund  to be used to assist in funding the state share of hospital
expenditures.   Funds   in  Specific  Appropriations  169  and  173  are
contingent  upon  the receipt of the $14,141,917 in grants and donations
from county or other local government funds.  The additional $15,000,000
of General Revenue funds appropriated is contingent upon legislation
becoming law in Special Session "A" of 2003 to offset the revenue losses
of state corporate income tax associated with the special depreciation
allowance provided for by the Job Creation and Worker Assistance Act of
2002.

Line item amendments are accepted as part of the amendatory process.  However, due to the necessity of using computerized systems this may entail a different placement
within a budget entity or the renumbering of the specific appropriation items.
