| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. (a) On September 1, 2017: | ||
| (1) the following are repealed: | ||
| (A) Chapter 1507 (S.B. 456), Acts of the 76th | ||
| Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article 5190.14, Vernon's | ||
| Texas Civil Statutes); | ||
| (B) Section 335.078, Local Government Code; and | ||
| (C) Section 26.041(j), Tax Code; and | ||
| (2) each fund established under Chapter 1507 (S.B. | ||
| 456), Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article | ||
| 5190.14, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes) is abolished. | ||
| (b) The applicable provisions of Chapter 1507 (S.B. 456), | ||
| Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article | ||
| 5190.14, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), as that chapter existed | ||
| immediately before the effective date of this Act, including any | ||
| fund established under that chapter, remain in effect as those | ||
| provisions apply in relation to the particular games or events | ||
| described by this subsection until all money from the fund for the | ||
| particular games or event has been disbursed and all obligations | ||
| under a games support contract or event support contract for the | ||
| particular games or event have been satisfied. This subsection | ||
| applies only if, before the effective date of this Act: | ||
| (1) pursuant to an application by a local organizing | ||
| committee, endorsing municipality, or endorsing county, a site | ||
| selection organization selects a site in this state for a | ||
| particular event to which Chapter 1507 applies; and | ||
| (2) one or more games support contracts or event | ||
| support contracts for the particular games or event have been | ||
| entered into. | ||
| SECTION 2. The repeal by this Act of Chapter 1507 (S.B. | ||
| 456), Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article | ||
| 5190.14, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), does not apply to an | ||
| offense committed under Chapter 1507 before September 1, 2017. An | ||
| offense committed before September 1, 2017, is governed by the law | ||
| as it existed 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 September 1, 2017, if any | ||
| element of the offense occurred before that date. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. | ||
