      75R7334 PAM-D                           

                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to interlocal contracting authority of local governments.

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

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 791.011(f), Government Code, is amended

 1-5     to read as follows:

 1-6           (f)  An interlocal contract may be:

 1-7                 (1)  entered into for a period of not more than 10

 1-8     years; and

 1-9                 (2)  renewed for the same period provided in the

1-10     original contract [annually].

1-11           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-12     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-13     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-14     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-15     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-16     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-17     passage, and it is so enacted.
