BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. (a) On September 1, 2017: |
|
(1) the following are repealed: |
|
(A) Chapter 1507 (S.B. 456), Acts of the 76th |
|
Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article 5190.14, Vernon's |
|
Texas Civil Statutes); |
|
(B) Section 335.078, Local Government Code; and |
|
(C) Section 26.041(j), Tax Code; and |
|
(2) each fund established under Chapter 1507 (S.B. |
|
456), Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article |
|
5190.14, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes) is abolished. |
|
(b) The applicable provisions of Chapter 1507 (S.B. 456), |
|
Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article |
|
5190.14, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), as that chapter existed |
|
immediately before the effective date of this Act, including any |
|
fund established under that chapter, remain in effect as those |
|
provisions apply in relation to the particular games or events |
|
described by this subsection until all money from the fund for the |
|
particular games or event has been disbursed and all obligations |
|
under a games support contract or event support contract for the |
|
particular games or event have been satisfied. This subsection |
|
applies only if, before the effective date of this Act: |
|
(1) pursuant to an application by a local organizing |
|
committee, endorsing municipality, or endorsing county, a site |
|
selection organization selects a site in this state for a |
|
particular event to which Chapter 1507 applies; and |
|
(2) one or more games support contracts or event |
|
support contracts for the particular games or event have been |
|
entered into. |
|
SECTION 2. The repeal by this Act of Chapter 1507 (S.B. |
|
456), Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article |
|
5190.14, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), does not apply to an |
|
offense committed under Chapter 1507 before September 1, 2017. An |
|
offense committed before September 1, 2017, is governed by the law |
|
as it existed on the date 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 September 1, 2017, if any |
|
element of the offense occurred before that date. |
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
