   1-23        SECTION 1.  Section 3, House Bill No. 1274, Acts of the 73rd
   1-24  Legislature, Regular Session, 1993, is amended to read as follows:
   1-25        Sec. 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993, and applies
   1-26  only to an action pending on or brought <agreement executed on or>
   1-27  after that date.  <An agreement executed before that date is
   1-28  governed by the law in effect at the time the agreement was
   1-29  executed, and the former law is continued in effect for that
   1-30  purpose.>
   1-31        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-32        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-33  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-34  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-35  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-36  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
