Amend HB 3977 (House Committee Printing) by adding the 
following appropriately numbered SECTION and renumbering 
subsequent SECTIONS accordingly:
	SECTION ____.  (a)  Section 43.062, Parks and Wildlife Code, 
is amended to read as follows:
	Sec. 43.062.  PENALTIES [PENALTY].  (a)  Except as provided 
by Subsection (b), a [A] person who violates any provision of this 
subchapter or the terms of a permit issued under this subchapter 
commits an offense that is a Class B Parks and Wildlife Code 
misdemeanor.
	(b)  A person who violates Section 43.061(a) by 
intentionally capturing, transporting, or transplanting a 
white-tailed or mule deer without obtaining the required permit or 
by intentionally violating one or more terms of the permit commits 
an offense that is a Parks and Wildlife Code state jail felony.
	(b)  Section 43.062, Parks and Wildlife Code, as amended by 
this section, applies only to an offense committed on or after the 
effective date of this Act.  For purposes of this subsection, an 
offense is committed before the effective date of this Act if any 
element of the offense occurs before that date.  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.
