    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to notices required to be posted by certain applicants for
    1-3  an on-premises alcoholic beverage permit or license.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 11.391, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
    1-6  amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
    1-7        (d)  An applicant for a permit issued under Chapter 25, 28,
    1-8  or  32 shall comply with this section not later than the 10th day
    1-9  before the date the applicant submits the application for a permit
   1-10  if:
   1-11              (1)  the applicant's permit was canceled or suspended
   1-12  during the 13-month period preceding the date of the application;
   1-13  or
   1-14              (2)  the premises described in the application was, in
   1-15  the five-year period preceding the date of the application, the
   1-16  premises of another holder of an alcoholic beverage permit or
   1-17  license that had been suspended or canceled.
   1-18        SECTION 2.  Section 61.381, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
   1-19  amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
   1-20        (d)  An applicant for a license issued under Chapter 69 or 74
   1-21  shall comply with this section not later than the 10th day before
   1-22  the date the applicant submits the application for a license if:
   1-23              (1)  the applicant's license was canceled or suspended
   1-24  during the 13-month period preceding the date of the application;
    2-1  or
    2-2              (2)  the premises described in the application was, in
    2-3  the five-year period preceding the date of the application, the
    2-4  premises of another holder of an alcoholic beverage permit or
    2-5  license that had been suspended or canceled.
    2-6        SECTION 3.  An applicant for the renewal of an alcoholic
    2-7  beverage permit or license issued under Chapter 25, 28, 32, 69, or
    2-8  74, Alcoholic Beverage Code, who submits the application on or
    2-9  before September 1, 1996, must comply with the law as changed by
   2-10  this Act in the same manner in which an applicant for an initial
   2-11  permit or license must comply.  This section expires September 2,
   2-12  1996.
   2-13        SECTION 4.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995, and
   2-14  applies only to an application for an alcoholic beverage permit or
   2-15  license or renewal of an alcoholic beverage permit or license
   2-16  submitted on or after the effective date of this Act.  An
   2-17  application for an alcoholic beverage permit or license or renewal
   2-18  submitted before September 1, 1995, is governed by the law as it
   2-19  existed immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that
   2-20  law is continued in effect for that purpose.
   2-21        SECTION 5.  The importance of this legislation and the
   2-22  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   2-23  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   2-24  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   2-25  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
