   4-23        SECTION 2.  Section 1, Article III, Chapter 2, Acts of the
   4-24  72nd Legislature, 3rd Called Session, 1992, is amended by adding
   4-25  Subsection (d) to read as follows:
   4-26        (d)  In this Act, "block group" means all the blocks in a
   4-27  tract or BNA that have the same first digit, according to the
    5-1  Redistricting Map Data Base for the State of Texas described by
    5-2  Subsection (a) of this section.  A block group is designated by the
    5-3  common first digit of all the blocks in the block group.  For
    5-4  example, blocks numbered 301, 342A, 342B, and 399Z located in a
    5-5  single tract would all belong to the block group 3 for that tract,
    5-6  and all the blocks in that tract beginning with a 3 would
    5-7  constitute block group 3.
    5-8        SECTION 3.  (a)  The changes made by this Act apply to the
    5-9  election of the members of the Texas House of Representatives
   5-10  beginning with the general election in 1996 for members of the 75th
   5-11  Legislature.
   5-12        (b)  The changes made by this Act do not affect the
   5-13  membership or districts of the Texas House of Representatives of
   5-14  the 74th Legislature.  If a vacancy occurs in the office of a
   5-15  member of the Texas House of Representatives of the 74th
   5-16  Legislature and a special election is held to fill the vacancy, the
   5-17  election shall be held in the district as it existed when the
   5-18  vacating member was elected.
   5-19        SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
   5-20  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   5-21  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   5-22  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   5-23  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   5-24  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   5-25  passage, and it is so enacted.
