                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

                                       AN ACT

 1-1     relating to assignment of Medicaid payments.

 1-2           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-3           SECTION 1.  Section 32.036, Human Resources Code, is amended

 1-4     by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:

 1-5           (c)  This section does not apply to the extent that it

 1-6     conflicts with the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Section

 1-7     1396a(a)(32)).

 1-8           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

 1-9     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-10     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-11     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-12     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-13     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-14     passage, and it is so enacted.
