   1-21                                AN ACT
   1-22  relating to the term of an agreement with a depository selected by
   1-23  certain hospital districts.
   1-24        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-25        SECTION 1.  Sections 281.093(b) and (c), Health and Safety
   1-26  Code, are amended to read as follows:
   1-27        (b)  If the board selects a depository in accordance with
   1-28  Subsection (a)(1), the depository shall serve as the district
   1-29  depository for four <two> years and until its successor is selected
   1-30  and qualified.
   1-31        (c)  The board may extend any contract with a depository to
   1-32  the next October and then select a depository for the following
   1-33  four <two> years.
   1-34        SECTION 2.  This Act applies only to the selection of a
   1-35  depository on or after the effective date of this Act.  The
   1-36  selection of a depository before the effective date of this Act is
   1-37  governed by the law in effect immediately before the effective date
   1-38  of this Act, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
   1-39        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-40  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-41  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-42  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-43  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-44  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-45  passage, and it is so enacted.
