    1-7        (c)  The commission shall adopt rules prohibiting:
    1-8              (1)  an association from accepting a wager made on

   1-13  withdraw cash from a checking, savings, or credit card account
   1-14  within the enclosure.
   1-15        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-16  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

   1-19  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-20  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-21  passage, and it is so enacted.
