ACTIVITY DURING SUSPENSION OF LICENSE. A suspended 1-10 license is subject to expiration and shall be renewed as provided 1-11 in this Act, but such renewal does not entitle the licensee, while 1-12 the license remains suspended and until it is reinstated, to engage 1-13 in the licensed activity, or in any other activity or conduct in 1-14 violation of the order or judgment by which the license was 1-15 suspended except that a licensee may continue to perform monitoring 1-16 of existing alarm contracts or continue to contract for the 1-17 monitoring of existing alarm contracts for 30 days following the 1-18 suspension. 1-19 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the 1-20 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 1-21 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 1-22 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 1-23 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
