 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to permitting an aircraft to be used in alcoholic beverage

 1-3     advertising or promotion.

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

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 108.51(1), Alcoholic Beverage Code, is

 1-6     amended to read as follows:

 1-7           "Outdoor advertising" means any sign bearing a word, mark,

 1-8     description, or other device that is used to advertise an alcoholic

 1-9     beverage or the business of a person who manufactures, sells, or

1-10     distributes an alcoholic beverage if the sign is displayed outside

1-11     the walls or enclosure of a building or structure where a license

1-12     or permit is issued or if it is displayed inside a building but

1-13     within five feet of an exterior wall facing a street or highway so

1-14     that it is visible by a person of ordinary vision from outside the

1-15     building.  "Outdoor advertising" does not include advertising

1-16     appearing on radio or television, in a public vehicular conveyance

1-17     for hire, on a race car while participating at a professional

1-18     racing event or at a permanent motorized racetrack facility, on a

1-19     boat participating in a racing event or a boat show, on a aircraft

1-20     [participating in an air show], on a bicycle or on the clothing of

1-21     member of a bicycling team participating in an organized bicycle

1-22     race, or in a newspaper, magazine, or other literary publication

1-23     published periodically.  For the purpose of this definition the

1-24     word "sign," with respect to a retailer, does not include an

 2-1     identifying label affixed to a container as authorized by law or to

 2-2     a card or certificate of membership in an association or

 2-3     organization if the card or certificate is not larger than 80

 2-4     square inches.

 2-5           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

 2-6     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

 2-7     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

 2-8     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

 2-9     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
