   1-23        SECTION 1.  Section 33.203(2), Natural Resources Code, is
   1-24  amended to read as follows:
   1-25              (2)  "Council" means the Coastal Coordination Council,

   1-31  resident from the coastal area appointed by the governor for
   1-32  two-year terms.
   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,
   1-38  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
