                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-1                                AN ACT
    1-2  relating to the regulation of bicycles on county roads.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Section 2.301(a)(1), County Road and Bridge Act
    1-5  (Article 6702-1, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to read
    1-6  as follows:
    1-7              (1)  The commissioners court of any county may regulate
    1-8  and restrict traffic, including bicycle traffic, on county roads
    1-9  and on other county-owned land under its jurisdiction.
   1-10        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-11  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-12  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-13  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-14  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-15  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-16  passage, and it is so enacted.
