A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT

1-3 persons delinquent in the payment of child support.
1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 14.972(c), Family Code, is amended to
1-6 read as follows:
1-7 (c) The lien attaches to all personal property not exempt
1-8 under provisions of the Texas Constitution, including all claims
1-9 for negligence, personal injury, or workers' compensation,
1-10 <including> an insurance award for any of those claims, and a motor
1-11 vehicle, owned by the obligor on or after the date on which the
1-12 lien attaches.
1-13 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-14 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-15 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-16 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-17 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-18 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-19 passage, and it is so enacted.
