    1-2  relating to the compensation of the directors of the Gulf Coast

    1-4        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-5        SECTION 1.  Section 2.10, Chapter 409, Acts of the 61st
    1-6  Legislature, Regular Session, 1969, is amended to read as follows:
    1-7        Sec. 2.10.  Director's Compensation.  <(a)>  A director is
    1-8  entitled to receive an allowance of $100 a day and reimbursement
    1-9  for actual and necessary expenses incurred for each day the
   1-10  director spends:
   1-11              (1)  <for each day he spends> attending meetings of the
   1-12  board; or <and>
   1-13              (2)  <for each day he spends> attending to the business

   1-16  allowance for more than 48 days in any one calendar year.>
   1-17        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-18  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-19  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-20  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-21  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   1-22  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   1-23  passage, and it is so enacted.
