    1-6  Statutes), is amended to read as follows:
    1-7        (h)  This section does not apply to persons who are:
    1-8              (1)  employed by the United States Postal Service while
    1-9  performing duties for that federal agency which require the
   1-10  operator to service postal boxes from their vehicles or which
   1-11  require frequent entry into and exit from their vehicles; or
   1-12              (2)  engaged in the actual delivery of newspapers from

   1-15        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995.
   1-16        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-17  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-18  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-19  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-20  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
