                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to meetings of the Texas Committee on Energy Policy.

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

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 2.03(c), Chapter 793, Acts of the 73rd

 1-5     Legislature, Regular Session, 1993 (Article 4413(47f), Vernon's

 1-6     Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to read as follows:

 1-7           (c)  The committee shall meet [at least once each calendar

 1-8     quarter and at other times] at the call of the presiding officer.

 1-9           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-10     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-11     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-12     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-13     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-14     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-15     passage, and it is so enacted.
