|
|

|
|
Government Code, as amended by this Act, applies to approval of a |
|
|

|
|

|
|
to land that is the subject of a lawsuit filed before the effective |
|
|
date of this Act on the date the decision in that lawsuit becomes |
|
|
final or the suit is otherwise terminated. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
|
