                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to minimum voter turnout in an election on creation of a

 1-3     new school district by detaching territory from one or more

 1-4     existing school districts.

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

 1-6           SECTION 1.  Section 13.104(c), Education Code, is amended to

 1-7     read as follows:

 1-8           (c)  An election on the detachment of the territory and

 1-9     creation of a new district has no effect unless at least five [25]

1-10     percent of the registered voters of each district vote in the

1-11     election in which the issue is on the ballot.

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.
