1-12     Section 54.0406 to read as follows:
1-13           Sec. 54.0406.  CHILD PLACED IN COUNTY DETENTION FACILITY AS
1-14     CONDITION OF PROBATION.  (a)  If a court or jury makes a
1-15     disposition under Section 54.04(d)(1) in which a child is placed on
1-16     probation, the court may, as a condition of the probation, place
1-17     the child for not more than 30 days in a certified juvenile
1-18     detention facility operated by or under contract with the county in
1-19     which the disposition is made.  The court may place the child in a
1-20     detention facility at the time the court makes the disposition
1-21     placing the child on probation or at any time during the period of
1-22     probation in an order to modify the disposition under Section
1-23     54.05.
1-24           (b)  A court may place a child in a certified juvenile
1-25     detention facility as provided by Subsection (a) more than once
1-26     during the same period of probation, except that the total amount
1-27     of time that the child is placed in a detention facility may not
1-28     exceed 30 days.
1-29           SECTION 2.  (a)  The change in law made by this Act applies
1-30     only to a child placed on probation for conduct that occurs on or
1-31     after the effective date of this Act.  Conduct violating a penal
1-32     law of the state occurs on or after the effective date of this Act
1-33     if every element of the violation occurs on or after that date.
1-34           (b)  A child placed on probation for conduct that occurs
1-35     before the effective date of this Act is covered by the law in
1-36     effect at the time the conduct occurred, and the former law is
1-37     continued in effect for that purpose.
1-38           SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
1-39           SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-40     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-41     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-42     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-43     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
