BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 365.012, Health and Safety Code, is | ||
amended by adding Subsection (g-1) to read as follows: | ||
(g-1) The minimum term of confinement for an offense under | ||
this section that is committed inside the boundaries of a | ||
municipality is: | ||
(1) 72 hours for an offense described by Subsection | ||
(d-1); | ||
(2) six days for an offense described by Subsection | ||
(e); or | ||
(3) 12 days for an offense described by Subsection | ||
(f). | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only | ||
to an offense committed on or after the effective date of this Act. | ||
An offense committed before the effective date of this Act is | ||
governed by the law in effect when 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 the | ||
effective date of this Act if any element of the offense was | ||
committed before that date. | ||
