                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to importation of personal wine collections.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Chapter 107, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is amended
    1-5  by adding Section 107.09 to read as follows:
    1-6        Sec. 107.09.  IMPORTATION OF PERSONAL WINE COLLECTION.  (a)
    1-7  A person who is relocating a household may import, or contract with
    1-8  a motor carrier or another person to import, a personal wine
    1-9  collection as a part of that person's household goods.
   1-10        (b)  Section 107.07 of this code does not apply to a person
   1-11  who is importing a personal wine collection under Subsection (a) of
   1-12  this section.
   1-13        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-14  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-15  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-16  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-17  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-18  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-19  passage, and it is so enacted.
