    1-2        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-3        SECTION 1.  Subsection (a), Section 86.16, Education Code, is
    1-4  amended to read as follows:
    1-5        (a)  The Texas A&M University System shall conduct and
    1-6  maintain a firemen's training school through the Texas Engineering

    1-9  The Texas Engineering Extension Service shall serve as the
   1-10  recognized statewide fire and rescue training agency liaison to the

   1-14  departments, state agencies, and institutions of higher education
   1-15  which meet National Fire Academy qualifications.
   1-16        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-17  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-18  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-19  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-20  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-21  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-22  passage, and it is so enacted.
