(a) If a change in law made by House Bill 3431, Acts of the 76th Legislature, Regular Session, 1999, would have the effect of invalidating an exemption granted under the Workforce Investment Act of 1998 (Pub. L. No. 105-220), the Texas Workforce Investment Council may not operate under that change in law but, instead, shall operate under the law as it existed before September 1, 1999.
(b) A change in law described by Subsection (a) of this section does not affect other related provisions or applications of a statute that can be given effect without that change in law, and to this end those other provisions and applications of the statute shall be given effect.
