| by adding Subsections (a-1) and (a-2) to read as follows: | ||
| (a-1) Raffle tickets for a charitable raffle conducted | ||
| under Subsection (a) may be sold: | ||
| (1) at the home venue of the professional sports team | ||
| associated with the foundation conducting the raffle; or | ||
| (2) through digital interactive media, including an | ||

| time of the sale. | ||
| SECTION 2. Sections 2004.002(1-a) and 2004.009(a), | ||
| Occupations Code, are repealed. | ||
| SECTION 3. The repeal by this Act of Section 2004.009(a), | ||
| Occupations Code, does not apply to an offense committed under that | ||
| section before the effective date of the repeal. An offense | ||
| committed before the effective date of the repeal 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 the effective date of | ||
| the repeal if any element of the offense occurred before that date. | ||
| SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
| a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
| provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
| Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
| Act takes effect September 1, 2021. | ||
