                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to certain state-owned land in Williamson County.
    1-2        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-3        SECTION 1.  Subsection (e), Section 4, Chapter 2, Acts of the
    1-4  70th Legislature, 2nd Called Session, 1987, is amended to read as
    1-5  follows:
    1-6        (e)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act, 50
    1-7  acres, as designated by the Texas Department of Transportation
    1-8  <State Department of Highways and Public Transportation>, in the
    1-9  northwest corner of the tract described by Subdivision (2) of
   1-10  Subsection (a) of Section 2 of this Act shall be transferred to the
   1-11  <Texas> Parks and Wildlife Department, which shall hold the
   1-12  property as park land to be maintained, <and> operated, and managed
   1-13  by Williamson County.  <Unless the governing bodies of the
   1-14  appropriate city or cities and county having jurisdiction of the
   1-15  land subject to this subsection agree within six months of the date
   1-16  of the transfer that the park land may be used to satisfy any
   1-17  offset or greenbelt requirements of a subsequent purchaser of any
   1-18  of the remainder of the tract described by Subdivision (2) of
   1-19  Subsection (a) of Section 2 of this Act, that park land reverts to
   1-20  the State Department of Highways and Public Transportation.>  The
   1-21  park land <also> reverts to the Texas Department of Transportation
   1-22  <department> if for any reason it is no longer used as <a> park
   1-23  land or for recreational purposes by Williamson County.
    2-1        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-2  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-3  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-4  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-5  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
    2-6  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
    2-7  passage, and it is so enacted.
