19-51    the original payee or the original payee's successor, heirs, or

19-52    assigns that the debt is still outstanding.  If the claim is for

19-53    unpaid goods or services, it must be accompanied by an invoice or

19-55    information that may be required by the comptroller.

19-59    one or more warrants on the state treasury, as soon as possible

19-60    following the effective date of this Act, in the favor of each of

19-61    the individuals, firms, or corporations named in this Act, in an

19-62    amount not to exceed the amount set opposite their respective names

19-68          SECTION 31.  EMERGENCY.  The importance of this legislation

19-69    and the crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

 20-1    emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

 20-2    constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

 20-3    days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
