                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the liability of certain municipalities for a claim

 1-3     arising from land acquired at a sale following the foreclosure of a

 1-4     lien held by the municipality.

 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-6           SECTION 1.  Subchapter C, Chapter 101, Section 101.064, Civil

 1-7     Practice and Remedies Code, is amended to read as follows:

 1-8           Sec. 101.064.  LAND ACQUIRED UNDER FORECLOSURE OF LIEN.  (a)

 1-9     This section applies only to a municipality [with a population of

1-10     1.5 million or more] that acquires land at a sale following the

1-11     foreclosure of a lien held by the municipality.

1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
