substituting the following appropriately numbered sections:
      SECTION ___.  This Act takes effect July 1, 1997.
      SECTION ___.  The importance of this legislation and the
crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

and that this Act take effect and be in force according to its
terms, and it is so enacted.
