       73R4097 GCH-F
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to an emergency appropriation to the Texas Air Control
    1-3  Board.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  In addition to amounts previously appropriated
    1-6  for the current fiscal biennium, the sum of $2,928,000 is
    1-7  appropriated for the period ending August 31, 1993, from the clean
    1-8  air fund to the Texas Air Control Board for the purpose of
    1-9  conducting field and emission inventory studies to support
   1-10  development of cost-effective, federally required ozone control
   1-11  plans for ozone nonattainment areas.
   1-12        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-13  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-14  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-15  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-16  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-17  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-18  passage, and it is so enacted.
