1-22 SECTION 1. Section 311.013(i), Tax Code, is amended to read
1-23 as follows:
1-24 (i) Subsections (f) and (g) do not apply to a city with a

1-27 SECTION 2. Section 27, Chapter 1137, Acts of the 71st

1-29 Sec. 27. The change in law made by Section 25 of this Act
1-30 does not apply to the payment of all or part of the tax increment

1-32 reinvestment zone for which the initial reinvestment zone financing
1-33 plan has been approved by the governing body of the municipality

1-37 of this Act, and the former law is continued in effect for that
1-38 purpose. <The provisions of Subsections (f) and (g) of Section
1-39 311.013, Tax Code, as added by Section 25 of this Act shall not
1-40 apply to cities of over 230,000 in population that border the Gulf
1-41 of Mexico or Mexico.>
1-42 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-43 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-44 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-45 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-46 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
