   1-22  relating to certain transfers of property by a county purchasing

   1-24        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-25        SECTION 1.  Section 262.011(j), Local Government Code, is
   1-26  amended to read as follows:
   1-27        (j)  To prevent unnecessary purchases, the county purchasing
   1-28  agent, with the approval of the commissioners court, shall transfer
   1-29  county supplies, materials, and equipment from a subdivision,
   1-30  department, officer, or employee of the county that are not needed
   1-31  or used to another subdivision, department, officer, or employee
   1-32  requiring the supplies or materials or the use of the equipment.
   1-33  The county purchasing agent shall furnish to the county auditor a
   1-34  list of transferred supplies, materials, and equipment.
   1-35        SECTION 2.  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,
   1-40  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-41  passage, and it is so enacted.
