Amend CSHB 1550 as follows:
      (1)  Add the following sections to the bill, appropriately
numbered:
      SECTION ____.  Section 54.08, Family Code, is amended to read
as follows:
      Sec. 54.08.  PUBLIC ACCESS TO COURT HEARINGS.  (a)  Except as
provided by this section <Subsection (b)>, the court shall open
hearings under this title to the public unless the court, for good
cause shown, determines that the public should be excluded.
            (b)  The court may not prohibit a person who is a
victim of the conduct of a child, or the person's family, from
personally attending a hearing under this title relating to the
conduct by the child unless the victim or member of the victim's
family is to testify in the hearing or any subsequent hearing
relating to the conduct and the court determines that the victim's
or family member's testimony would be materially affected if the
victim or member of the victim's family hears other testimony at
trial.
            (c)  If a child is under the age of 14 at the time of
the hearing, the court shall close the hearing to the public,
unless the court finds that the interests of the child or the
interests of the public would be better served by opening the
hearing to the public.
            (d)  In this section, "family" has the meaning assigned
by Section 71.01(b).
      SECTION ____.  The change in law made by this Act to Section
54.08, Family Code, applies only to a hearing under Title 3, Family
Code, commenced on or after the effective date of this Act. A
hearing commenced before the effective date of this Act is governed
by the law in effect on the date the hearing was commenced, and the
former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
      (2)  Renumber sections of the bill appropriately.
