          By Cuellar of Webb, Nieto                             H.B. No. 1403
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the salary of the bailiff of the 341st District Court.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 53.009(d), Government Code, is amended to
    1-5  read as follows:
    1-6        (d)  The bailiff appointed by the judge of the 341st District
    1-7  Court is entitled to receive a salary set by the judge in an amount
    1-8  that is commensurate with the salary paid the bailiffs of other
    1-9  courts with similar duties <that does not exceed the salary of a
   1-10  full-time deputy sheriff of the county>.  The salary is paid out of
   1-11  the general fund of the county.
   1-12        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-13        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-14  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-15  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-16  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-17  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
