A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

AN ACT

relating to the civil penalty for late filing of a lobby 
registration or report that is corrected by the registrant.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:                        
	SECTION 1.  Section 305.033, Government Code, is amended by 
adding Subsection (f) to read as follows:
	(f)  A registration or report filed by a registrant is not 
considered to be late for purposes of this section if the registrant 
files a corrected or amended registration or report not later than 
the 14th business day after the date the registrant becomes aware of 
the error or omission in the registration or report originally 
filed.
	SECTION 2.  Section 305.033(f), Government Code, as added by 
this Act, applies only to a registration or report required to be 
filed under Chapter 305, Government Code, that is due on or after 
September 1, 2005. A registration or report required to be filed 
under Chapter 305, Government Code, that is due before September 1, 
2005, is governed by the law in effect on the date the registration 
or report is due, and the former law is continued in effect for that 
purpose.
	SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
