   1-25        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-26        SECTION 1.  Section 4.06, Chapter 741, Acts of the 67th
   1-27  Legislature, Regular Session, 1981 (Article 4477-9a, Vernon's Texas
   1-28  Civil Statutes), is amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as
   1-29  follows:
   1-30        (d)  The combined license and permit fees may not be more
   1-31  than $10 for a sign erected and maintained by a nonprofit
   1-32  organization in a municipality or the extraterritorial jurisdiction
   1-33  of a municipality if the sign advertises or promotes only the
   1-34  municipality or another political subdivision whose jurisdiction is
   1-35  in whole or in part concurrent with the municipality.  The
   1-36  nonprofit organization is not required to file a bond as provided
   1-37  by Section 4.04(b)(3) of this Act.
   1-38        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-39  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-40  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-41  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-42  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-43  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-44  passage, and it is so enacted.
