Amend CSHB 710 as follows:
      (1)  In PART 5, SECTION 5.02, amend by adding the following:
      "Coverages available under the Texas Health Insurance Risk
Pool as provided in Part 1 of this Act must be made available not
later than January 1, 1998. The provisions of this Act as provided
under Part 2, SECTION 2.01, apply only to an insurance policy that
is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed on or after
January 1, 1998. A policy that is delivered, issued for delivery,
or renewed before January 1, 1998 is governed by the law as it
existed immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that
law is continued in effect for that purpose.
