    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Subchapter A, Chapter 11, Education Code, is
    1-6  amended by adding Section 11.2092 to read as follows:
    1-7        Sec. 11.2092.  FUNDS FOR EXTENDED-DAY EXTRACURRICULAR AND
    1-8  ACADEMIC PROGRAMS.  From funds appropriated for the purposes of
    1-9  this section, the Central Education Agency may allocate money to
   1-10  school districts for the purpose of funding academic or
   1-11  extracurricular activities, or other educational programs,
   1-12  conducted or held on school facilities up to two hours before or
   1-13  three hours after the school day.  The Central Education Agency may
   1-14  allocate the funds to a district that demonstrates that a school
   1-15  facility within the district is being used for those purposes.
   1-16        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-17  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-18  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-19  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-20  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-21  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-22  passage, and it is so enacted.
