                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to creation and operation of a water bank and
    1-3  establishment and collection of fees associated thereto.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Chapter 15, Texas Water Code, is amended by
    1-6  adding the following as new Subchapter K:
    1-7                    Subchapter K.  Texas Water Bank
    1-8        SECTION 2.  EMERGENCY.  The importance of this legislation
    1-9  and the crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-10  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-11  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-12  days in each house be suspended.
