Why the model tagged it this way: The bill expands eligibility for Texas handgun carry licenses to include U.S. immigration court judges by amending the definition of 'federal judge' (adding a new category after deleting the 'or' from the prior list), which expands the carry axis for that group; the applicability clause is neutral as it does not alter the substance for past or future applicants beyond the definitional change.
