                                       AN ACT

 1-1     relating to the disposition of the City of Lubbock's

 1-2     auditorium-coliseum complex located on real property conveyed to

 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Chapter 185, Acts of the 48th Legislature,

 1-6     Regular Session, 1943 as amended by Chapter 98, Acts of the 53rd

 1-8     Section 4 to read as follows:

 1-9           SECTION 4.  The City of Lubbock and Texas Tech University may

1-10     enter into any agreement or agreements and execute any conveyances

1-11     that are mutually satisfactory to the Board of Regents of Texas

1-12     Tech and to the City Council of the City of Lubbock (1) with regard

1-13     to the continued use, lease, or demolition of all or part of the

1-14     auditorium-coliseum complex that has been constructed and (11) with

1-15     regard to the use or lease of the land that has been conveyed,

1-16     leased, or upon which easements have been granted, pursuant to

1-17     Section 1 of this Act; provided, however, that prior to the

 2-4     are hereby expressly repealed to the extent of such conflict.

 2-5           SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the

 2-6     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

 2-7     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

 2-8     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

 2-9     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

2-10     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

2-11     passage, and it is so enacted.
