Amend CSHB 2221 by striking Section 7 thereof in its entirety and substituting in lieu thereof the following: "SECTION 7. (a) This Act takes effect September 1, 1997, and applies only to an insurance policy that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed on or after that date. A policy that is delivered, issued for delivery, or renewed before September 1, 1997, 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. (b) For purposes of this section, an insurance policy is considered renewed on the date that the policyholder makes a payment of a premium on the policy."
