| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Article 102.0121(a), Code of Criminal Procedure, | ||

| county. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
| to a reimbursement fee for participation in a pretrial intervention | ||
| program for an offense committed on or after the effective date of | ||
