   1-21  relating to the establishment of fiscal years in certain

   1-23        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-24        SECTION 1.  Subchapter B, Chapter 101, Local Government Code,
   1-25  is amended by adding Section 101.0221 to read as follows:
   1-26        Sec. 101.0221.  FISCAL YEAR FOR CERTAIN MUNICIPALITIES.
   1-27  Notwithstanding any fiscal year provision in the city charter, a
   1-28  municipality with a population in excess of 500,000 which is
   1-29  situated in a county bordering the Republic of Mexico may prescribe
   1-30  its fiscal year by ordinance.
   1-31        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-32  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-33  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-34  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-35  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
