                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the exemption of certain plumbers from continuing
    1-3  professional education requirements.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 12B, The Plumbing License Law (Article
    1-6  6243-101, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended by adding
    1-7  Subsection (f) to read as follows:
    1-8        (f)  A person holding a license under this Act for 10 years
    1-9  or more is exempt from the requirements of this section.
   1-10        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995, and
   1-11  applies only to a license renewed on or after that date.
   1-12        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-13  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-14  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-15  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-16  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
