1-4 SECTION 1. Section 1(d), Article 6050, Revised Statutes, is
1-5 amended to read as follows:
1-6 (d) No person shall be deemed to be a "gas utility," "public
1-7 utility," or "utility" solely because such person is an affiliate

1-13 (1) Section 6, Article 6050, Revised Statutes; and
1-14 (2) Section 1(b), Article 6053, Revised Statutes.
1-15 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-16 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-17 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-18 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-19 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-20 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-21 passage, and it is so enacted.
