                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to removing a county official from office.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 87.031(b), Local Government Code, is
    1-5  amended to read as follows:
    1-6        (b)  The court rendering judgment in such a case shall
    1-7  include in the judgment an order documenting the immediate removal
    1-8  of <removing> the officer as provided by Subsection (a) <in the
    1-9  judgment>.
   1-10        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-11  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-12  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-13  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-14  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-15  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-16  passage, and it is so enacted.
