1-2 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-3 SECTION 1. Subsection (a), Section 130.904, Local Government

1-5 (a) The commissioners court of a county may establish a
1-6 petty cash fund for the sheriff's department in an amount set by
1-7 the commissioners court <not to exceed $5,000>. The court shall
1-8 appropriate the amount from the general fund of the county.
1-9 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-10 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-13 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-14 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-15 passage, and it is so enacted.
