1-2 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-3 SECTION 1. Subsection (c), Section 113.901, Local Government

1-5 (c) The commissioners court [county judge] of a county that
1-6 has the office of county auditor may, by a written order, waive the
1-7 requirement of the county judge's approval of requisitions. The
1-8 order must be recorded in the minutes of the commissioners court.
1-9 If the approval of the county judge is waived, all claims must be
1-10 approved by the commissioners court in open court.
1-11 SECTION 2. The importance of this legislation and the

1-15 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-16 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-17 passage, and it is so enacted.
