SECTION 5.01.  (a) Except as provided by Subsection (b) of this section, 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 this Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2019.

(b)  Article 2 of this Act takes effect January 1, 2020, but only if the constitutional amendment proposed by the 86th Legislature, Regular Session, 2019, authorizing the legislature to provide for the creation of the flood infrastructure fund to assist in the financing of drainage, flood mitigation, and flood control projects is approved by the voters. If that amendment is not approved by the voters, Article 2 has no effect.
