1-22 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-23 AN ACT
1-24 relating to an emergency appropriation to the Texas Air Control
1-25 Board and a transfer of funds to the general revenue fund.
1-26 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-27 SECTION 1. In addition to amounts previously appropriated
1-28 for the current fiscal biennium, the sum of $2,928,000 is
1-29 appropriated for the period ending August 31, 1993, from the clean
1-30 air fund to the Texas Air Control Board for the purpose of
1-31 conducting field and emission inventory studies to support
1-32 development of cost-effective, federally required ozone control
1-33 plans for ozone nonattainment areas.
1-34 SECTION 2. If the balance of the clean air fund on
1-35 August 31, 1993, is less than $18,406,638, an amount equal to the
1-36 difference between $18,406,638 and the actual balance shall be
1-37 transferred from the dedicated clean air account to the unobligated
1-38 general revenue fund by the comptroller of public accounts on
1-39 September 1, 1993, or as soon as practical thereafter.
1-40 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-41 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-42 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-43 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-44 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-45 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-46 passage, and it is so enacted.
