                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the depository of the Lubbock County Hospital District
    1-3  of Lubbock County, Texas.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 15, Chapter 484, Acts of the 60th
    1-6  Legislature, Regular Session, 1967, is amended to read as follows:
    1-7        Sec. 15.  Within 30 days after the appointment of the board
    1-8  of hospital managers of any district created under this Act, the
    1-9  said board shall select a depository for such district in the
   1-10  manner provided by law for the selection of county depositories;
   1-11  and such depository shall be the depository of such district for a
   1-12  period of four <two> years thereafter, until its successor is
   1-13  selected and qualified.  In the alternative, the board may elect to
   1-14  use the depository theretofore selected by the county.
   1-15        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-16  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-17  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-18  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-19  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-20  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-21  passage, and it is so enacted.
