                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to runoff elections.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 2.022, Election Code, is repealed.
    1-5        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
    1-6        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    1-7  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    1-8  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    1-9  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-10  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
