    1-2  relating to average daily attendance in certain school districts.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 16.006(b), Education Code, is amended to
    1-5  read as follows:
    1-6        (b)  A school district that experiences a decline of two
    1-7  percent or more in average daily attendance as a result of the
    1-8  closing or reduction in personnel of a military base shall be
    1-9  funded on the basis of:
   1-10              (1)  the actual average daily attendance of the
   1-11  immediately preceding school year for the first school year
   1-12  following the closing or reduction in personnel;
   1-13              (2)  95 percent of the average daily attendance on
   1-14  which funding was based for the preceding school year or average
   1-15  daily attendance for the current school year, as determined under
   1-16  Subsection (a) of this section, whichever is greater, for the
   1-17  second year following the closing or reduction in personnel;
   1-18              (3)  95 percent of the average daily attendance  on
   1-19  which funding was based for the preceding school year or average
   1-20  daily attendance for the current school year, as determined under
   1-21  Subsection (a) of this section, whichever is greater, for the third
   1-22  year following the closing or reduction in personnel; and
   1-23              (4)  average daily attendance for the current school
   1-24  year, as determined under Subsection (a) of this section, for the
    2-1  fourth and subsequent years following the closing or reduction in
    2-2  personnel.
    2-3        SECTION 2.  This Act applies beginning with the 1993-1994
    2-4  school year.
    2-5        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-6  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-7  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-8  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-9  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   2-10  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   2-11  passage, and it is so enacted.
