    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 86.085, Natural Resources Code, is

    1-6        Sec. 86.085.  DETERMINATION OF DEMAND AND VOLUME.  On or

    1-9              (1)  the lawful market demand for gas to be produced
   1-10  from each reservoir during the following month; and

   1-12  waste from the reservoir and each well in the reservoir during the
   1-13  following month.
   1-14        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-15  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-16  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

   1-18  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-19  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
