                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the appointment of a tenant representative as a

 1-3     commissioner of a municipal housing authority.

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

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 392.0331(a), Local Government Code, is

 1-6     amended to read as follows:

 1-7           (a)  This section applies only to:

 1-8                 (1)  a municipality that has a municipal housing

 1-9     authority in which the total number of units is more than 250; or

1-10                 (2)  a county that has a county housing authority or is

1-11     a member of regional housing authority and the total number of

1-12     units in the authority is more than 750.

1-13           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-14     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-15     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-16     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-17     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-18     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-19     passage, and it is so enacted.
