This subsection does not apply to the prosecution   of the offense of capital murder.          SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only   to the prosecution of an offense committed on or after the effective   date of this Act.

For purposes of this section, an offense   was committed before the effective date of this Act if any element   of the offense occurred before that date.          SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
