A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to the offense of furnishing alcohol to a minor.
1-3 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-4 SECTION 1. Section 106.06(c), Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
1-5 amended to read as follows:
1-6 (c) A violation of this section is a Class B misdemeanor
1-7 [punishable by a fine of not less than $100 nor more than $500].
1-8 SECTION 2. (a) This Act takes effect September 1, 1997.
1-9 The change in law made by this Act applies only to an offense
1-10 committed on or after the effective date of this Act. For purposes
1-11 of this section, an offense is committed before the effective date
1-12 of this Act if any element of the offense occurs before that date.
1-13 (b) An offense committed before the effective date of this
1-14 Act is covered by the law in effect when the offense was committed,
1-15 and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose.
1-16 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-17 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-18 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-19 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-20 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
