    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Chapter 1, Title 116, Revised Statutes, is
    1-6  amended by adding Article 6674f to read as follows:
    1-7        Art. 6674f.  EXPENDITURES FOR FARM-TO-MARKET AND
    1-8  RANCH-TO-MARKET ROADS.  The Texas Department of Transportation
    1-9  shall spend not less than 150 percent of the amount of money it
   1-10  spent for the construction and maintenance of farm-to-market and
   1-11  ranch-to-market roads in the fiscal year ending August 31, 1992,
   1-12  for that purpose in each fiscal year that begins on or after
   1-13  September 1, 1993.
   1-14        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-15  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-16  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-17  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-18  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
