1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 843.601(d), Government Code, is amended
1-6 to read as follows:
1-7 (d) A member eligible to establish credit under this section

1-17 least 10 years of service that is credited] in the retirement
1-18 system for service performed after the member's date of release
1-19 from active military duty.
1-20 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the
1-21 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-22 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-23 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-24 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
2-1 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
2-2 passage, and it is so enacted.
