1-4 as follows:
1-5 Sec. 14.022. DISPOSITION OF RETURNED CERTIFICATE. On the
1-6 return of an undelivered renewal certificate to the registrar, the

1-13 information that the voter's registration will be canceled on the
1-14 date specified in Section 16.032 unless the voter applies for a new
1-15 voting certificate.
1-16 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-17 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-21 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-22 passage, and it is so enacted.
