   1-16  COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR H.B. No. 1444               By:  Henderson
   1-17                         A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
   1-18                                AN ACT
   1-19  relating to the daily compensation of a retired judge serving as an
   1-20  assigned probate judge.
   1-21        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-22        SECTION 1.  Section 25.0022(p), Government Code, is amended
   1-23  to read as follows:
   1-24        (p)  The daily compensation of a retired judge for purposes
   1-25  of this section is set at an amount equal to the daily compensation
   1-26  <1/365th of the annual salary> of a judge of a statutory probate
   1-27  court in the county in which the retired <assigned> judge is
   1-28  assigned <served immediately preceding retirement>.
   1-29        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993, and
   1-30  applies only to the assignment of a judge under this section, made
   1-31  on or after that date.  An assignment made before the effective
   1-32  date of this Act is governed by the law in effect at the time the
   1-33  assignment is made, and that law is continued in effect for that
   1-34  purpose.
   1-35        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-36  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-37  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-38  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-39  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
