      75R2829 CAS-F                           

                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to trusts for certain minors or incapacitated persons.

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

 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section  142.005, Property Code, is amended by

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

 1-6           (g)  Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter, if

 1-7     the court finds that it would be in the best interests of the minor

 1-8     or incapacitated person for whom a trust is created under this

 1-9     section, the trust may contain provisions determined by the court

1-10     to be necessary to establish a special needs trust as specified

1-11     under  42 U.S.C. Section 1396p(d)(4)(A).

1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
