                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to the importation of beer to a licensed warehouse by the
    1-2  holder of a manufacturer's license.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Chapter 62, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is amended
    1-5  by adding Section 62.075 to read as follows:
    1-6        Sec. 62.075.  LICENSED WAREHOUSE FOR IMPORTATION OF BEER.  On
    1-7  application and payment of a fee to be set by the Commission, the
    1-8  holder of a manufacturer's license may be issued a license for a
    1-9  warehouse located in an area where the sale of beer is lawful and
   1-10  may import beer from without the state for delivery to such
   1-11  licensed warehouse for sale to beer distributors or removal to
   1-12  other warehouses of the manufacturer.  The manufacturer shall make
   1-13  and keep a record of the receipt, sale and other movement of beer
   1-14  received at such licensed warehouse and any other records that the
   1-15  Commission or Administrator requires.
   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.
