 1-1                                   AN ACT

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

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 32.036, Human Resources Code, is amended

 1-5     by adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:           

 1-6           (c) This section does not apply to the extent that it

 1-7     conflicts with the Social Security Act (42 U.S.C. Section 301 et

 1-8     seq.).

 1-9           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-10     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-11     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-12     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-13     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-14     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-15     passage, and it is so enacted.
