    1-3        SECTION 1.  Section  102.07, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
    1-4  amended by adding a new Subsection (e) as  follows:
    1-5        (e)  Notwithstanding Subsection (a), brewers and distillers

    1-7  promotional activities to promote the brand name of the product
    1-8  advertised.
    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
