    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to information that may be collected from a school
    1-3  district or county education district through PEIMS.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 16.007(a), Education Code, is amended to
    1-6  read as follows:
    1-7        (a)  Each school district and each county education district
    1-8  shall participate in the Public Education Information Management
    1-9  System (PEIMS) and shall provide through that system information
   1-10  required:
   1-11              (1)  by state law;
   1-12              (2)  by rule of the State Board of Education;
   1-13              (3)  by federal law; or
   1-14              (4)  by rule of a federal agency <for the
   1-15  administration of this chapter and of other appropriate provisions
   1-16  of this code>.
   1-17        SECTION 2.  This Act applies beginning with the 1993-1994
   1-18  school year.
   1-19        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-20  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-21  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-22  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-23  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-24  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
    2-1  passage, and it is so enacted.
