    1-2        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

    1-4  read as follows:
    1-5        Sec. 614.021.  APPLICABILITY OF SUBCHAPTER.  This subchapter
    1-6  applies only to a complaint against<:>
    1-7              <(1)>  a law enforcement officer of the State of Texas,

   1-13  service statute>.
   1-14        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-15  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-16  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-17  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-18  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-19  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-20  passage, and it is so enacted.
