                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 25.25(b), Tax Code, is amended to read as

 1-5     follows:

 1-6           (b)  The chief appraiser may change the appraisal roll at any

 1-7     time to correct a name or address, a description of property, or a

 1-8     clerical error or other inaccuracy that does not increase [affect]

 1-9     the amount of tax liability.

1-10           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-11     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-12     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-13     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-14     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-15     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-16     passage, and it is so enacted.
