Bill > HB925

This bill repeals Sections 46.15(n) and (o) of the Texas Penal Code, which relate to specific provisions about carrying handguns in certain prohibited locations. The bill specifies that the changes in law will only apply to offenses committed on or after September 1, 2025, which is the effective date of the Act. For any offenses committed before this date, the previous legal provisions will still govern, meaning that if any element of an offense occurred prior to September 1, 2025, the old law will continue to apply. While the specific details of the repealed sections are not provided in the bill text, the title suggests that the bill is modifying defenses to prosecution for handgun-related offenses and removing associated notice requirements. The bill follows standard legislative language by including an enacting clause, specifying the effective date, and providing a standard transitional provision about the applicability of the new law to future offenses.
