    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 2.411, County Road and Bridge Act
    1-6  (Article 6702-1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to read
    1-7  as follows:
    1-8        Sec. 2.411.  COUNTY SUBJECT TO SUBCHAPTER.  This subchapter
    1-9  applies only to a county with a population of 1 <1.18> million or
   1-10  more, according to the most recent federal census.
   1-11        SECTION 2.  The heading of Subchapter F, Chapter 2, County
   1-12  Road and Bridge Act (Article 6702-1, Vernon's Texas Civil
   1-13  Statutes), is amended to read as follows:

   1-15         COUNTY WITH POPULATION OF 1 MILLION <950,000> OR MORE
   1-16        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-17  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-18  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-19  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-20  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-21  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-22  passage, and it is so enacted.
