       73R3533 JD-D
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the optional county fee for the registration of certain
    1-3  motor vehicles.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 9a(a), Chapter 88, General Laws, Acts of
    1-6  the 41st Legislature, 2nd Called Session, 1929 (Article 6675a-9a,
    1-7  Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes),  is amended to read as follows:
    1-8        (a)  The Commissioners Court of a County by order may impose,
    1-9  in addition to the fee imposed by this Act for registering a
   1-10  vehicle in this State, an extra fee in an amount set by the
   1-11  Commissioners Court that does not exceed Fifteen Dollars ($15) <Ten
   1-12  Dollars ($10)> for each vehicle registered in the County.  A
   1-13  vehicle that may be registered under this Act without payment of a
   1-14  registration fee may be registered in the County without payment of
   1-15  the extra fee.
   1-16        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-17  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-18  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-19  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-20  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-21  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-22  passage, and it is so enacted.
