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

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 702.002, Transportation Code, is amended

 1-5     to read as follows:

 1-6           Sec. 702.002.  APPLICATION.  This chapter applies only to a

 1-7     home-rule municipality [with a population of 150,000 or more].

 1-8           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

 1-9     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-10     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-11     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-12     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-13     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-14     passage, and it is so enacted.
