   1-19        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-20        SECTION 1.  Section 53.009(d), Government Code, is amended to
   1-21  read as follows:
   1-22        (d)  The bailiff appointed by the judge of the 341st District
   1-23  Court is entitled to receive a salary set by the judge in an amount
   1-24  that is commensurate with the salary paid the bailiffs of other
   1-25  courts with similar duties <that does not exceed the salary of a
   1-26  full-time deputy sheriff of the county>.  The salary is paid out of
   1-27  the general fund of the county.
   1-28        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-29        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-30  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-31  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-32  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-33  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
