    1-9  coordinator, computer equipment, and support personnel and services
   1-10  for a district court serving a judicial district with more than one
   1-11  county if each county in the judicial district has an average of
   1-12  less than one district judge.
   1-13        (b)  An average number of district judges for a county is
   1-14  determined by dividing the total number of district judges serving

   1-16  judges.
   1-17        SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995.
   1-18        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-19  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-20  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-21  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-22  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
