Amend HB 76 as follows:                                                      

(1)  Add the following appropriately numbered section to the 	bill and renumber existing sections accordingly:
	SECTION ___.  Section 724.002, Transportation Code, is 
amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 724.002.  APPLICABILITY.  The provisions of this 
chapter that apply to suspension of a license for refusal to submit 
to the taking of a specimen (Sections 724.013, 724.015, and 724.048 
and Subchapters C and D) apply only to a person arrested for an 
offense involving the operation of a motor vehicle or watercraft 
[powered with an engine having a manufacturer's rating of 50 
horsepower or above].
	(2)  On page 9, between lines 24 and 25, insert the 
following:               
	(d)  Section 724.002, Transportation Code, as amended by 
this Act, applies only to a person arrested for an offense involving 
the operation of a motor vehicle or watercraft on or after September 
1, 2005.  A person arrested for an offense involving the operation 
of a motor vehicle or watercraft before September 1, 2005, is 
covered by Section 724.002, Transportation Code, as that law 
existed on the date of the person's arrest, and the former law is 
continued in effect for that purpose.
