1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to prohibiting discharge or release payments to certain
 1-3     inmates of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 501.015, Government Code, is amended by
 1-6     adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
 1-7           (f)  Subsection (a)(3) does not apply to an inmate who on
 1-8     discharge or release on parole, mandatory supervision, or
 1-9     conditional pardon is transferred from the custody of the
1-10     institutional division to a state jail felony facility or who is
1-11     subject to a felony detainer and is released to the custody of
1-12     another jurisdiction.
1-13           SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
1-14     to an inmate who is discharged or released from the institutional
1-15     division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on or after
1-16     the effective date of this Act. An inmate who is discharged or
1-17     released before the effective date of this Act is covered by the
1-18     law in effect at the time of discharge or release, and the former
1-19     law is continued in effect for that purpose.
1-20           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-21     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-22     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-23     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-24     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
 2-1     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
 2-2     passage, and it is so enacted.
