                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the powers of the Lower Colorado River Authority in

 1-3     Williamson County.

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

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 26, Chapter 7, Acts of the 43rd

 1-6     Legislature, 4th Called Session, 1934 (Article 8280-107, Vernon's

 1-7     Texas Civil Statutes), is amended to read as follows:

 1-8           Sec. 26.   Notwithstanding any other provision of this Act,

 1-9     the district may exercise all powers within Lampasas or Williamson

1-10     County that it may otherwise exercise within the 10 counties

1-11     specified in Section 1 of this Act, except that the district may

1-12     not provide water or wastewater services in the portion of Lampasas

1-13     or Williamson County outside the Colorado River watershed without

1-14     the consent of the Brazos River Authority.

1-15           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-16     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-17     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-18     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-19     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-20     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-21     passage, and it is so enacted.
