   1-10  Chapter 54, Government Code, unless:
   1-11              (1)  the parties agree on entry of the order; or

   1-19        SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
   1-20        SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-21  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-22  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-23  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-24  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
