   1-21        (a)  The board is composed of nine members appointed by the
   1-22  governor with the advice and consent of the senate.  <The governor
   1-23  may not appoint more than two members who reside in an area
   1-24  encompassed by the same administrative judicial region, as
   1-25  determined by Section 74.042.>
   1-26        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-27  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-28  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-29  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-30  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-31  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
