associated qualifying data center. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to a | ||
data center certified as a qualifying data center by the | ||

certification occurred before, on, or after the effective date of | ||
this Act. | ||
SECTION 3. 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, 2017. | ||
