   1-21        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-22        SECTION 1.  Subsection (c), Section 112.045, Human Resources
   1-23  Code, is amended to read as follows:
   1-24        (c)  The members serve for staggered six-year terms, with the
   1-25  terms of three members expiring <two-year terms that expire on>
   1-26  February 1 of each odd-numbered year.  Executive committee members
   1-27  receive no compensation but are entitled to reimbursement of actual
   1-28  and necessary expenses incurred in the performance of their duties.
   1-29        SECTION 2.  (a)  All terms of the current members of the
   1-30  executive committee of the Office for the Prevention of
   1-31  Developmental Disabilities expire on the effective date of this
   1-32  Act.  On that date, or as soon as possible after that date, the
   1-33  governor, lieutenant governor, and speaker of the house of
   1-34  representatives shall each appoint one member for a term expiring
   1-35  February 1, 1995, one member for a term expiring February 1, 1997,
   1-36  and one member for a term expiring February 1, 1999.

   1-38  before the effective date of this Act is eligible for reappointment

   1-40        SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-41        SECTION 4.  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.
