                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to tax assessor-collectors who are required to register

    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Article 8885, Revised Statutes, is amended by
    1-6  adding Section 11A to read as follows:
    1-7        Sec. 11A.  EXCEPTION FOR OFFICER OF POPULOUS COUNTY.  A tax
    1-8  assessor-collector of a county with a population of 1,000,000 or
    1-9  more, according to the most recent federal census, is exempt from
   1-10  Section 11 of this Act.  This section expires January 1, 1997.
   1-11        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-12  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-13  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-14  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-15  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-16  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-17  passage, and it is so enacted.
