Bill > HB1707

This bill repeals Section 43.137(d) of the Government Code, which appears to relate to specific duties of the district attorney for the 70th Judicial District. The bill specifies that this repeal will only apply to proceedings commenced on or after the effective date (September 1, 2025), meaning any legal proceedings started before this date will still be governed by the previous version of the law. By using the phrase "former law is continued in effect," the bill ensures that ongoing or pre-existing legal matters will not be disrupted by this change. While the specific details of the repealed section are not provided in the bill text, the legislation seems to be making a targeted modification to the legal responsibilities or procedures of the district attorney in this specific judicial district, with a carefully planned implementation timeline that provides continuity for existing legal processes.
