 1-2     relating to certain court costs imposed on a person convicted of an
 1-3     offense.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Article 102.075, Code of Criminal Procedure, is
 1-6     amended by amending Subsection (m) and adding Subsection (n) to
 1-7     read as follows:
 1-8           (m)  In addition to the cost on conviction imposed by
 1-9     Subsection (a), a person convicted of an offense described by
1-10     Subsection (a)  shall pay 50 [25] cents on conviction of the
1-11     offense.  The comptroller shall deposit money received under this
1-12     subsection to the credit of an account in the state treasury to be
1-13     used only for the establishment and operation of the Center for the
1-14     Study and Prevention of Juvenile Crime and Delinquency at Prairie
1-15     View A&M University.  Subsection (h) does not apply to money
1-16     received under this subsection.
1-17           (n)  In addition to the costs on conviction imposed by
1-18     Subsections (a) and (m), a person convicted of an offense described
1-19     by Subsection (a) shall pay 50 cents on conviction of the offense.
1-20     The comptroller shall deposit money received under this subsection
1-21     to the credit of an account in the state treasury to be used only
1-22     for the establishment and operation of the Correctional Management
1-23     Institute of Texas and Criminal Justice Center account.  Subsection
1-24     (h) does not apply to money received under this subsection.
1-25           SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
 2-1     to a court cost imposed on conviction of an offense committed on or
 2-2     after the effective date of this Act.  A court cost imposed on
 2-3     conviction of an offense committed before the effective date of
 2-4     this Act is governed by the law in effect when the offense was
 2-5     committed, and the former law is continued in effect for that
 2-6     purpose.  For the purposes of this section, an offense was
 2-7     committed before the effective date of this Act if any element of
 2-8     the offense occurred before that date.
 2-9           SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2001.
