    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Subsection 11.32(d), Education Code, is amended
    1-5  to read as follows:
    1-6        (d)  The commissioner of education <Regional Board of
    1-7  Directors> is authorized to employ an executive director for each
    1-8  <its respective> center and such other personnel, professional and
    1-9  clerical, as the commissioner <it> deems necessary to carry out the
   1-10  functions of the center, and to do and perform all things which the
   1-11  commissioner <it> deems proper for the successful operation
   1-12  thereof, and to pay for all operating expenses by warrants drawn on
   1-13  proper funds available for such purpose.
   1-14        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-15  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-16  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-17  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-18  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-19  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-20  passage, and it is so enacted.
