5-12 SECTION 2. Section 1, Article III, Chapter 2, Acts of the
5-13 72nd Legislature, 3rd Called Session, 1992, is amended by adding
5-14 Subsection (d) to read as follows:
5-15 (d) In this Act, "block group" means all the blocks in a
5-16 tract or BNA that have the same first digit, according to the
5-17 Redistricting Map Data Base for the State of Texas described by
5-18 Subsection (a) of this section. A block group is designated by the
5-19 common first digit of all the blocks in the block group. For
5-20 example, blocks numbered 301, 342A, 342B, and 399Z located in a
5-21 single tract would all belong to the block group 3 for that tract,
5-22 and all the blocks in that tract beginning with a 3 would
5-23 constitute block group 3.
5-24 SECTION 3. (a) The changes made by this Act apply to the
5-25 election of the members of the Texas House of Representatives
5-26 beginning with the general election in 1996 for members of the 75th
5-27 Legislature.
6-1 (b) The changes made by this Act do not affect the
6-2 membership or districts of the Texas House of Representatives of
6-3 the 74th Legislature. If a vacancy occurs in the office of a
6-4 member of the Texas House of Representatives of the 74th
6-5 Legislature and a special election is held to fill the vacancy, the
6-6 election shall be held in the district as it existed when the
6-7 vacating member was elected.
6-8 SECTION 4. 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.
