| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 11.43(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as | ||
| follows: | ||
| (c) An exemption provided by Section 11.13, 11.131, 11.132, | ||

| delivering a written notice that a new application is required, | ||
| accompanied by an appropriate application form, to the person | ||
| previously allowed the exemption. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act applies only to a tax year beginning on | ||
| or after the effective date of this Act. | ||
