   1-24        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-25        SECTION 1.  Subsection (b), Section 153.205, Tax Code, is
   1-26  amended to read as follows:
   1-27        (b)  A person may not make a tax-free purchase of diesel fuel
   1-28  under this section using a signed statement:
   1-29              (1)  for the purchase of more than 3,000 <2,000>
   1-30  gallons of diesel fuel in a single transaction; or
   1-31              (2)  in a calendar month in which the person has
   1-32  previously purchased more than 10,000 gallons of diesel fuel from
   1-33  all sources.
   1-34        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-35  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-36  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-37  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-38  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-39  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-40  passage, and it is so enacted.
