 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-6           SECTION 1. Section 46.15, Penal Code, is amended by adding
 1-7     Subsection (f) to read as follows:
 1-8           (f)  Sections 46.03(a)(1) and 46.035(b)(2) do not apply to a
 1-9     school principal or superintendent, in a county with a population
1-10     of less than 20,000, who is licensed to carry a concealed handgun
1-11     under the authority of Subchapter H, Chapter 411, Government Code.
1-12           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2001, and
1-13     applies only to an offense committed on or after that date.  An
1-14     offense committed before the effective date of this Act is covered
1-15     by the law in effect when the offense was committed, and the former
1-16     law is continued in effect for that purpose.  For purposes of this
1-17     section, an offense was committed before the effective date of this
1-18     Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date.
