                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the repeal of certain tax provisions.

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

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Unless continued in effect by an Act of the

 1-5     legislature that becomes law, the following provisions of the Tax

 1-6     Code are repealed on September 1, 1997:

 1-7                 (1)  Title 1;

 1-8                 (2)  Subchapter H, Chapter 151;

 1-9                 (3)  Subchapter E, Chapter 152;

1-10                 (4)  Sections 153.104, 153.203, and 153.3021;

1-11                 (5)  Subchapter C, Chapter 156;

1-12                 (6)  Subchapter C, Chapter 158;

1-13                 (7)  Chapter 171; and

1-14                 (8)  Title 3.

1-15           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-16     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-17     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-18     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-19     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-20     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-21     passage, and it is so enacted.
