BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of
Texas, 88th Legislature, Regular Session, 2023, That House Rule 13,
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13,
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to
resolve the differences on Senate Bill 1238 (broadband development)
to consider and take action on the following matter:
House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4), is suspended to permit the
committee to add text on a matter not included in either the house

amending Section 490I.0110(i), Government Code, to read as follows:
(i) A person who is professionally affiliated with a person
serving as a member of the board of advisors is not eligible for
funding from the broadband development program under Section

Code, only if the person is professionally affiliated with a member
of the broadband development office board of advisors who is
involved in decisions regarding the award of grants, loans, or
