Amend CSHB 2066 as follows: (1) On page 190, between lines 18 and 19, insert the following: ARTICLE 8. AMENDMENTS TO TEXAS NON-PROFIT CORPORATION ACT SECTION 8.001. Article 1396-2.31, Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act is amended by designating the existing language as Section A and by inserting a new Section B to read as follows: B. Any corporation (or person or entity assisting such corporation) described in this article shall have immunity from suit (including both a defense to liability and the right not to bear the cost, burden, and risk of discovery and trial) as to any claim alleging that the corporation's role as trustee of a trust described in this article constitutes engaging in the trust business in a matter requiring a state charter in this state. An interlocutory appeal may be taken if a court denies or otherwise fails to grant a motion for summary judgment that is based on an assertion of the immunity provided in this subsection. SECTION 8.002. (a) Article 1396-2.31, Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act, as that section exists on the effective date of this Act, applies to any trust created before, on, or after the effective date of this Act, including any trust that is the subject of litigation or another proceeding that is pending before, on, or after the effective date of this Act. (b) This section applies without regard to the effective date of the legislation enacting Article 1396-2.31, Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act or any other legislation enacted by any legislature that amended the provisions of Article 1396-2.31, Texas Non-Profit Corporation Act. SECTION 8.003. This Act applies to any trust created before, on, or after the effective date of this Act, including any trust that is the subject of litigation or another proceeding that is pending before, on, or after the effective date of this article. (2) Renumber existing Article 8 of the bill as Article 9 and strike page 191, lines 24 through page 192, line 3, and substitute the following: SECTION 9.003. EFFECTIVE DATE. (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b), this Act takes effect immediately. (b) Articles 1-7 of this Act take effect September 1, 1999. SECTION 9.004. The importance of this legislation and the crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an emergency and an imperative public necessity that the constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, and that this Act take effect and be in force according to its terms, and it is so enacted.
