   1-13  facility of the commission or with youth released under the
   1-14  commission's supervision may receive hazardous duty pay in an
   1-15  amount that does not exceed the amount authorized by Subsection (a)
   1-16  of this section, subject to any condition or limitation related to
   1-17  receipt of the hazardous duty pay prescribed by:
   1-18                    (A)  Subsections (a)-(c) of this section; or

    2-1        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
    2-2        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-3  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-4  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-5  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-6  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
