   1-24        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-25        SECTION 1.  Section 4C, Texas Asbestos Health Protection Act
   1-26  (Article 4477-3a, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to
   1-27  read as follows:
   1-28        Sec. 4C.  A person licensed under this Act to perform
   1-29  asbestos inspections or surveys, write management plans, or design
   1-30  abatement specifications for an asbestos abatement project may not
   1-31  also be engaged in the removal of asbestos from that building or
   1-32  facility unless retained to do so by a municipality.
   1-33        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-34  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-35  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-36  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-37  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
