19-13 SECTION 4. The importance of this legislation and the
19-14 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
19-15 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
19-16 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
19-17 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
