counties, except for the part of the Graham Independent School 
District that is located in Young County.
	SECTION 2.   The change in law made by this Act applies 
beginning with the 2005 fall semester, except that during the 
2005-2006 academic year the Ranger Junior College District may 
continue to treat the area removed by this Act from the district's
