   1-24                                AN ACT
   1-25  relating to an exemption from the examination required by the Texas
   1-26  Board of Architectural Examiners.
   1-27        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-28        SECTION 1.  Section 7, Chapter 478, Acts of the 45th
   1-29  Legislature, Regular Session, 1937 (Article 249a, Vernon's Texas
   1-30  Civil Statutes), is amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as
   1-31  follows:
   1-32          (d)  After paying a fee equal to the examination fee and
   1-33  filing any forms required by the Board, an applicant who presents
   1-34  to the Board a diploma from and, prior to June 15, 1957, is a
   1-35  graduate of a recognized university or college of architecture
   1-36  approved by the Board shall be granted a certificate to practice
   1-37  architecture in this State.
   1-38        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993, and
   1-39  applies only to applications filed with the Texas Board of
   1-40  Architectural Examiners on or after the effective date of this Act.
   1-41        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-42  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-43  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-44  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-45  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
