    1-2  relating to permitting an aircraft to be used in alcoholic beverage

    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 108.51(1), Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
    1-6  amended to read as follows:
    1-7              (1)  "Outdoor advertising" means any sign bearing a
    1-8  word, mark, description, or other device that is used to advertise
    1-9  an alcoholic beverage or the business of a person who manufactures,
   1-10  sells, or distributes an alcoholic beverage if the sign is
   1-11  displayed outside the walls or enclosure of a building or structure
   1-12  where a license or permit is issued or if it is displayed inside a
   1-13  building but within five feet of an exterior wall facing a street
   1-14  or highway so that it is visible by a person of ordinary vision
   1-15  from outside the building.  "Outdoor advertising" does not include
   1-16  advertising appearing on radio or television, in a public vehicular
   1-17  conveyance for hire, on a race car while participating at a
   1-18  professional racing event or at a permanent motorized racetrack
   1-19  facility, on a boat participating in a racing event or a boat show,
   1-20  on an aircraft <participating in an air show>, on a bicycle or on
   1-21  the clothing of a member of a bicycle team participating in an
   1-22  organized bicycle race, or in a newspaper, magazine, or other
   1-23  literary publication published periodically.  For the purpose of
   1-24  this definition the word "sign," with respect to a retailer, does
    2-1  not include an identifying label affixed to a container as
    2-2  authorized by law or to a card or certificate of membership in an
    2-3  association or organization if the card or certificate is not
    2-4  larger than 80 square inches.
    2-5        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-6  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-7  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-8  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-9  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   2-10  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   2-11  passage, and it is so enacted.
