                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 502.274(a), Transportation Code, is

 1-6     amended to read as follows:

 1-7           (a)  The department shall issue specially designed license

 1-8     plates for passenger cars, motorcycles, and light trucks that are

 1-9     at least 25 years old.  The license plates must include the words

1-12           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1997.

1-13           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-14     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-15     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-16     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-17     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
