1-13                                   AN ACT
1-14     relating to prohibiting discharge or release payments to certain
1-15     inmates of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice.
1-16           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-17           SECTION 1.  Section 501.015, Government Code, is amended by
1-18     adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
1-19           (f)  Subsection (a)(3) does not apply to an inmate who on
1-20     discharge or release on parole, mandatory supervision, or
1-21     conditional pardon is transferred from the custody of the
1-22     institutional division to a state jail felony facility.
1-23           SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
1-24     to an inmate who is discharged or released from the institutional
1-25     division of the Texas Department of Criminal Justice on or after
1-26     the effective date of this Act. An inmate who is discharged or
1-27     released before the effective date of this Act is covered by the
1-28     law in effect at the time of discharge or release, and the former
1-29     law is continued in effect for that purpose.
1-30           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-31     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-32     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-33     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-34     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-35     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-36     passage, and it is so enacted.
