    1-6        (e)  The prohibition of Subsection (a) of this section shall
    1-7  not be deemed to impose liability upon a municipality by reason of
    1-8  the acceptance of drainage or other improvements constructed by a
    1-9  developer and dedicated to the municipality in conjunction with
   1-10  subdivision platting or other development activity.
   1-11        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-12  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-13  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-14  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-15  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-16  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
