                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to representatives of ex officio members of the Texas

 1-3     Committee on Energy Policy.

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

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Chapter 793, Acts of the 73rd Legislature,

 1-6     Regular Session, 1993 (Article 4413(47f), Vernon's Texas Civil

 1-7     Statutes), is amended by adding Section 2.015 to read as follows:

 1-8           Sec. 2.015.  REPRESENTATIVE OF EX OFFICIO MEMBER.  An ex

 1-9     officio member of the committee may designate a representative from

1-10     the member's office to serve on the committee in the absence of the

1-11     member.

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.
