                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to uniform service regions for state agencies.
    1-2        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-3        SECTION 1.  The uniform service regions established under
    1-4  Section 120, Article V, Chapter 19, Acts of the 72nd Legislature,
    1-5  1st Called Session, 1991 (the General Appropriations Act), are not
    1-6  effective and state agencies are not required to conform their
    1-7  service and regulatory functions to the regions until the
    1-8  legislature by general law establishes the regions.
    1-9        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-10  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-11  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-12  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-13  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-14  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-15  passage, and it is so enacted.
