SECTION__. The change in law made by this Act in adding
Article 59.01(2)(A)(iv), Code of Criminal Procedure, applies only
to the forfeiture of contraband used in the commission of an offense
under Section 43.02(a)(2), Penal Code, committed on or after the
effective date of this Act. Forfeiture of contraband used in the
commission of an offense under Section 43.02(a)(2), Penal Code,
committed before the effective date of this Act is covered by the
law in effect when the offense was committed, and the former law is
continued in effect for that purpose. For purposes of this section,
an offense is committed before the effective date of this Act if any
element of the offense occurs before that date.
