       73R1469 GCH-F
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to a transfer and appropriation of money to the produce
    1-3  recovery fund.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  (a)  In addition to amounts previously
    1-6  appropriated for the current fiscal biennium, the sum of $200,000
    1-7  is transferred from Fund No. 036 to the general revenue fund and
    1-8  appropriated from the general revenue fund to the produce recovery
    1-9  fund for a two-year period, for the purposes for which amounts in
   1-10  the produce recovery fund may be used.  If any portion of the
   1-11  amount appropriated by this Act remains unexpended and unobligated
   1-12  at the end of the period for which it is appropriated, that amount
   1-13  is dedicated for the purposes for which this appropriation is made.
   1-14        (b)  The comptroller of public accounts shall transfer the
   1-15  amount appropriated by this Act to the produce recovery fund on the
   1-16  effective date of this Act.
   1-17        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-18  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-19  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-20  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-21  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-22  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-23  passage, and it is so enacted.
