A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to a cause of action for violation of collegiate athletic
1-3 association rules by certain regional collegiate athletic
1-4 associations.
1-5 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-6 SECTION 1. Section 131.001(3), Civil Practice and Remedies
1-7 Code, is amended to read as follows:
1-8 (3) "Regional collegiate athletic association" means a
1-9 regional collegiate athletic association with one or more [the
1-10 majority] of its member institutions in Texas.
1-11 SECTION 2. This Act applies only to a cause of action that
1-12 accrues on or after the effective date of this Act. An action that
1-13 accrued before the effective date of this Act is governed by the
1-14 law applicable to the action immediately before the effective date
1-15 of this Act, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
1-16 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-17 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-18 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-19 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-20 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-21 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-22 passage, and it is so enacted.
