    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Amend Section 214.013(a), Local Government Code,

    1-6        (a)  A <home-rule> municipality may:
    1-7              (1)  provide for a sanitary sewer system; and
    1-8              (2)  require property owners to connect to the sewer
    1-9  system.
   1-10        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-11  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-12  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-13  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-14  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
