         (f)  The commission shall execute contracts with local

  date of this Act, and audits conducted under those contracts, are
  governed by the law in effect immediately before the effective date
  of this Act, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
