The bill, H.B. No. 1707, proposes to repeal Section 43.137(d) of the Government Code, which pertains to the duties of the district attorney for the 70th Judicial District. This repeal will only affect proceedings that are initiated on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. Any proceedings that began before this date will continue to be governed by the existing law, ensuring that the previous legal framework remains in effect for those cases.

By removing this specific section, the bill aims to streamline the responsibilities of the district attorney, although the exact implications of this change are not detailed in the text. The legislation emphasizes a clear transition for ongoing cases, maintaining legal consistency for those initiated prior to the new law's enactment.

Introduced: Government Code 43.137 (Government Code 43)
