BE IT RESOLVED by the House of Representatives of the State of |
|
|
Texas, 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, That House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13, |
|
|
Section 9(f), to enable the conference committee appointed to |
|
|
resolve the differences on Senate Bill No. 593 (proof of, and |
|
|
providing notice to certain beneficiaries under, a decedent's will) |
|
|
to consider and take action on the following matters: |
|
|
(1) House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4), is suspended to permit |
|
|
the committee to add a SECTION to the bill to amend Section 6.02, |
|
|
H.B. No. 391, Acts of the 80th Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, |
|
|
to read as follows: |
|
|
SECTION 5. Section 6.02, H.B. No. 391, Acts of the 80th |
|
|
Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, as effective September 1, 2007, |
|
|
is amended to read as follows: |
|
|
SECTION 6.02. The changes in law made by this article apply |
|
|
only to[:
|
|
|
[(1)
the estate of a decedent who dies before the
|
|
|
effective date of this article, if the probate or administration of
|
|
|
the estate is pending on or commenced on or after the effective date
|
|
|
of this article; and
|
|
|
[(2)] the estate of a decedent who dies on or after the |
|
|
effective date of this article. |
|
|
Explanation: The addition of the SECTION to the bill is |
|
|
necessary to make a technical change in the applicability of an |
|
|
amendment made by SECTION 6.01, H.B. No. 391, Acts of the 80th |
|
|
Legislature, Regular Session, 2007, to Section 85, Texas Probate |
|
|
Code. |
|
|
(2) House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(1), is suspended to permit |
|
|
the committee to change the text of the SECTION of the bill that is |
|
|
renumbered in the conference committee report as SECTION 6 to read |
|
|
as follows: |
|
|
SECTION 6. The changes in law made by Sections 1, 2, 3, and 4 |
|
|
of this Act apply only to the estate of a decedent who dies on or |
|
|
after the effective date of this Act. The estate of a decedent who |
|
|
dies before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in |
|
|
effect on the date of the decedent's death, and the former law is |
|
|
continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
Explanation: The change to the applicability provision of |
|
|
the bill is necessary to reflect the addition of SECTION 5 to the |
|
|
conference committee report and to avoid having the applicability |
|
|
provision affect that added SECTION. |
