                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the regular meetings of the board of port commissioners

 1-3     of the Port of Port Arthur Navigation District of Jefferson County,

 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-6           SECTION 1.  Section 16, Chapter 197, Acts of the 58th

 1-7     Legislature, Regular Session, 1963, is amended to read as follows:

 1-8           Sec. 16.  The Board of Port Commissioners shall hold regular

 1-9     meetings at least once [twice] each month on the day and time to be

1-10     designated by said commissioners, as well as such special meetings

1-11     as may be called by the president, or by the request of three (3)

1-12     members of the Board of Commissioners.

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.
