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 corrected 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.

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.
