                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to certain tax-free purchases of diesel fuel.
    1-2        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-3        SECTION 1.  Subsection (b), Section 153.205, Tax Code, is
    1-4  amended to read as follows:
    1-5        (b)  A person may not make a tax-free purchase of diesel fuel
    1-6  under this section using a signed statement:
    1-7              (1)  for the purchase of more than 3,000 <2,000>
    1-8  gallons of diesel fuel in a single transaction; or
    1-9              (2)  in a calendar month in which the person has
   1-10  previously purchased more than 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel from
   1-11  all sources.
   1-12        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-13  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-14  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-15  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-16  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-17  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-18  passage, and it is so enacted.
