       73R2127 DAK-D
                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the fees imposed on real estate brokers.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 11A(a), The Real Estate License Act
    1-5  (Article 6573a, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to read
    1-6  as follows:
    1-7        (a)  Each of the following fees imposed by or under another
    1-8  section of this Act is increased by $200:
    1-9              (1)  fee for filing an original application for an
   1-10  individual <a> real estate broker license; and
   1-11              (2)  fee for annual renewal of an individual <a> real
   1-12  estate broker license.
   1-13        SECTION 2.  This Act applies only to a fee imposed on or
   1-14  after the effective date of this Act.
   1-15        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-16  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-17  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-18  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-19  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-20  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-21  passage, and it is so enacted.
