The importance of this legislation and the 6-9 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 6-10 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 6-11 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 6-12 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, 6-13 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its 6-14 passage, and it is so enacted.
