                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to service required under the Teacher Retirement System of
    1-3  Texas in certain circumstances to qualify for group insurance

    1-5        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-6        SECTION 1.  Section 823.401(h), Government Code, is amended
    1-7  to read as follows:
    1-8        (h)  A member purchasing out-of-state service credit does not
    1-9  qualify for insurance coverage until the member has at least five
   1-10  <10 or more> years of membership service credit for actual service
   1-11  in public schools.
   1-12        SECTION 2.  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,
   1-17  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-18  passage, and it is so enacted.
