       73R5115 GGS-D
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the transportation of voters to the polls.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 276.002, Election Code, is repealed.
    1-5        SECTION 2.  The repeal by this Act of Section 276.002,
    1-6  Election Code, does not apply to an offense committed under that
    1-7  section before the effective date of the repeal.  An offense
    1-8  committed before that date is governed by that section as it
    1-9  existed on the date the offense was committed, and the former law
   1-10  is continued in effect for this purpose.
   1-11        SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-12        SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-13  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-14  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-15  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-16  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
