Amend SB 833 by inserting the following to be SECTION 2:                     
	SECTION 2.  Subchapter A, Chapter 431, Government Code, is 
amended by adding Section 431.0055 to read as follows:
	Sec. 431.0055.  DUAL OFFICE HOLDING.  A position in or 
membership in the state military forces is not considered to be a 
civil office of emolument.
	Amend SECTION 2 of SB 833 by renumbering SECTION 2 of the bill 
to be SECTION 3 and to read:
	SECTION 3.  SECTION 1 of this Act takes effect immediately if 
it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each 
house, as provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution.  
If SECTION 1 of this Act does not receive the vote necessary for 
immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2009.  SECTION 
2 of this Act takes effect January 1, 2010, but only if the 
constitutional amendment proposed by the 81st Legislature, Regular 
Session, 2009, authorizing an officer or enlisted member of the 
Texas State Guard or other state militia or military force to hold 
other civil offices is approved by the voters.  If that proposed 
constitutional amendment is not approved by the voters, SECTION 2 
of this Act has no effect.
