    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the annexation of certain areas located in certain
    1-3  municipal utility districts.
    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Subchapter D, Chapter 43, Local Government Code,
    1-6  is amended by adding Section 43.0725 to read as follows:
    1-7        Sec. 43.0725.  ANNEXATION OF AREAS IN CERTAIN MUNICIPAL
    1-8  UTILITY DISTRICTS.  (a)  This section applies only to a home-rule
    1-9  municipality that:
   1-10              (1)  has a population of more than 400,000;
   1-11              (2)  has a charter provision allowing limited-purpose
   1-12  annexation; and
   1-13              (3)  has disannexed territory that was annexed for a
   1-14  limited purpose.
   1-15        (b)  The municipality may annex an area located in a
   1-16  municipal utility district only if the district is providing retail
   1-17  service to 80 percent or more of the equivalent wastewater
   1-18  connection rights that the district has reserved in the
   1-19  municipality's wastewater system for the district's retail
   1-20  customers.
   1-21        SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
   1-22  to an annexation for which the first hearing notice required by
   1-23  Section 43.052, Local Government Code, is published on or after
    2-1  January 1, 1995, and that has not been completed before the
    2-2  effective date of this Act.
    2-3        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-4  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-5  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-6  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-7  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
    2-8  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
    2-9  passage, and it is so enacted.
