9	11		SECTION 1. Section 5A, Chapter 1507 (S.B. 456), Acts of the
10	12		76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999 (Article 5190.14, Vernon's
11	13		Texas Civil Statutes), is amended by amending Subsection (a-1) and
12	14		adding Subsection (a-5) to read as follows:
13	15		(a-1) An event not listed in Subsection (a)(4) of this
14	16		section is ineligible for funding under this section. A listed
15	17		event may receive funding through the Major Events Reimbursement
16	18		Program under this section only if:
17	19		(1) a site selection organization selects a site
18	20		located in this state for the event to be held one time or, for an
19	21		event scheduled to be held each year for a period of years under an
20	22		event contract, or an event support contract, one time each year for
21	23		the period of years, after considering, through a highly
22	24		competitive selection process, one or more sites that are not
23	25		located in this state;
24	26		(2) a site selection organization selects a site in
25	27		this state as:
26	28		(A) the sole site for the event; or
27	29		(B) the sole site for the event in a region
28	30		composed of this state and one or more adjoining states;
29	31		(3) the event is held not more than one time in any
30	32		year;
31	33		(4) the amount of the incremental increase in tax
32	34		receipts determined by the department under Subsection (b) of this
33	35		section equals or exceeds $1 million, provided that for an event
34	36		scheduled to be held each year for a period of years under an event
35	37		contract or event support contract, the incremental increase in tax
36	38		receipts shall be calculated as if the event did not occur in the
37	39		prior year; and
38	40		(5) not later than the 30th day before the first day of
39	41		the event, a site selection organization or the organization
40	42		hosting the event submits a plan to prevent the trafficking of
41	43		persons in connection with the event to the office of the attorney
42	44		general, the human trafficking prevention task force established
43	45		under Section 402.035, Government Code, and the chief of the Texas
44	46		Division of Emergency Management.
45	47		(a-5) If the department determines an event is ineligible to
46	48		receive funding through the Major Events Reimbursement Program due
47	49		solely to a failure to timely submit a plan as required by
48	50		Subsection (a-1)(5) of this section, the event may receive funding
49	51		through the program if:
50	52		(1) the plan required by that subdivision is submitted
51	53		to the required entities not later than seven days before the event
52	54		begins and is implemented during the event; and
53	55		(2) all other requirements for funding under this
54	56		section, including those imposed by Subsections (d-1) and (w) of
55	57		this section, are satisfied not later than the 60th day after the
56	58		last day of the fiscal year in which the event occurs, provided
57	59		submission of the plan required by Subsection (a-1)(5) of this
58	60		section was not previously required under this section for that
59	61		event.
60	62		SECTION 2. This Act applies to an event that occurs before,
61	63		on, or after the effective date of this Act.
62	64		SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
63	65		a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
64	66		provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
65	67		Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
66	68		Act takes effect on the 90th day after the last day of the
67	69		legislative session.
