 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 SECTION 1.  Section 223.208, Transportation Code, is amended

 amend a comprehensive development agreement entered into on or
 before March 22, 2007, for State Highway 130 from U.S. Highway 183
 to Interstate Highway 10 (Segments 5 and 6) to extend the term of
 the agreement for an additional 20 years only if:

 provide funds to the department in an amount determined by the

 the department districts based on the percentage of toll revenue
 from users from each of those department districts.
