Section 9.196. Effective date of report

The court rules report may contain a provision making the report operative at a time later than the date on which the report would otherwise take effect. In the absence of such a provision, the effective date of the report is:

(1) The date of approval of the last of the two houses to act, upon approval of the report by the General Assembly; or

(2) The date of the expiration of the 120-day period after the delivery of the report to both houses, upon failure of the General Assembly to approve or disapprove the report prior thereto.
