   1-22                                AN ACT
   1-23  relating to the contracting for, and establishment and continuance
   1-24  of, certain retirement programs for the benefit of employees of

   1-26        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-27        SECTION 1.  Subchapter C, Chapter 262, Health and Safety
   1-28  Code, is amended by adding Section 262.035 to read as follows:
   1-29        Sec. 262.035.  RETIREMENT BENEFITS.  If any authority is
   1-30  created by the governing body of a municipality which has
   1-31  established a municipal retirement system pursuant to Chapter 451,
   1-32  Acts of the 72nd Legislature, Regular Session, 1991 (Article 6243n,
   1-33  Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), then the board of such authority
   1-34  shall have the authority to provide and shall provide retirement
   1-35  benefits for employees of the authority by participating in and
   1-36  making all contributions required or authorized by the municipal
   1-37  retirement system established by the municipality pursuant to
   1-38  Chapter 451, Acts of the 72nd Legislature, Regular Session, 1991
   1-39  (Article 6243n, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes).
   1-40        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect July 1, 1993.
   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,
   1-46  and that this Act take effect and be in force according to its
   1-47  terms, and it is so enacted.
