A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
1-1 relating to required protective headgear for motorcycle operators
1-2 and passengers.
1-3 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-4 SECTION 1. Section 2(d), Chapter 329, Acts of the 60th
1-5 Legislature, Regular Session, 1967 (Article 6701c-3, Vernon's Texas
1-6 Civil Statutes), is amended to read as follows:
1-7 (d) A medical exemption:
1-8 (1) must be on a form prescribed by the Department of
1-9 Public Safety; and
1-10 (2) expires on the earlier of:
1-11 (A) the 180th <10th> day after the date it is
1-12 issued; or
1-13 (B) the expiration date specified by the issuing
1-14 physician on the form.
1-15 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1995. The
1-16 change in law made by this Act applies only to a medical exemption
1-17 that is issued on or after that date. A medical exemption that was
1-18 issued before the effective date of this Act is covered by the law
1-19 in effect when the exemption was issued, and the former law is
1-20 continued in effect for that purpose.
1-21 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-22 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-23 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
2-1 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
2-2 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
