    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 1, Chapter 211, Acts of the 66th
    1-6  Legislature, Regular Session, 1979 (Article 6252-20b, Vernon's

    1-8  as follows:
    1-9        (d)  An employee of the Texas Youth Commission who has
   1-10  routine direct contact with youth placed in a residential facility
   1-11  of the commission or with youth released under the commission's
   1-12  supervision may receive hazardous duty pay in an amount that does
   1-13  not exceed the amount authorized by Subsection (a) of this section,
   1-14  subject to any condition or limitation related to receipt of the
   1-15  hazardous duty pay prescribed by:
   1-16              (1)  Subsections (a)-(c) of this section; or
   1-17              (2)  the General Appropriations Act.
   1-18        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-19        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-20  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-21  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-22  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-23  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
