   1-17                         A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
   1-18                                AN ACT
   1-19  relating to allowing a limited partnership to operate as a common
   1-20  carrier for the transportation by pipeline of certain materials.
   1-21        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-22        SECTION 1.  Section 1.09,  Texas Revised Limited Partnership
   1-23  Act (Article 6132a-1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended by
   1-24  adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:
   1-25        (c)  A limited partnership engaged as a common carrier in the
   1-26  pipeline business for transporting oil, oil products, gas, carbon
   1-27  dioxide, salt brine, fuller's earth, sand, clay, liquefied
   1-28  minerals, or other mineral solutions has all of the rights and
   1-29  powers conferred by Sections 111.019 through 111.022, Natural
   1-30  Resources Code.  A limited partnership that is a common carrier as
   1-31  defined in Section 111.002, Natural Resources Code, has in addition
   1-32  all of the obligations conferred by Sections 111.001 through
   1-33  111.025, Natural Resources Code.
   1-34        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-35        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-36  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-37  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-38  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-39  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
