	Amend SB 909 on third reading by adding the following 
appropriately numbered SECTIONS to the bill and renumbering 
subsequent SECTIONS of the bill accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  Section 15(a)(1), Article 42.12, Code of 
Criminal Procedure, is amended to read as follows:
		(1)  On conviction of a state jail felony under Section 
481.115(b), 481.1151(b)(1), 481.116(b), 481.121(b)(3), or 
481.129(g)(1), Health and Safety Code, that is punished under 
Section 12.35(a), Penal Code, the judge shall suspend the 
imposition of the sentence and place the defendant on community 
supervision, unless the defendant has previously been convicted of 
a felony or unless the conviction resulted from an adjudication of 
the guilt of a defendant previously placed on deferred adjudication 
community supervision for the offense, in which event the judge may 
suspend the imposition of the sentence and place the defendant on 
community supervision or may order the sentence to be executed.  The 
provisions of this subdivision requiring the judge to suspend the 
imposition of the sentence and place the defendant on community 
supervision do not apply to a defendant who under Section 
481.1151(b)(1), Health and Safety Code, possessed more than five 
abuse units of the controlled substance or under Section 
481.121(b)(3), Health and Safety Code, possessed more than one 
pound of marihuana.
	SECTION ____.  The change in law made by this Act in amending 
Section 15(a)(1), Article 42.12, Code of Criminal Procedure, 
applies only to a defendant placed on deferred adjudication 
community supervision for an offense committed on or after the 
effective date of this Act.  A defendant placed on deferred 
adjudication for an offense 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 was committed 
before the effective date of this Act if any element of the offense 
was committed before that date.
