| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 548.051, Transportation Code, is amended | ||

| engine is exempt from the inspection requirements relating to the | ||
| emissions and exhaust systems provided in Subsections | ||
| (a)(12)-(15). | ||

| Safety shall adopt or amend department rules as necessary to | ||
| implement the provisions of this Act. | ||

| by the law in effect 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 the effective date of | ||
| this Act if any element of the offense occurred before that date. | ||
