                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the repeal of the authority to abolish certain

 1-3     conservation and reclamation districts that become part of more

 1-4     than one municipality.

 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-6           SECTION 1.  Sections 43.077 and 43.078, Local Government

 1-7     Code, are repealed.

 1-8           SECTION 2.  (a)  This Act takes effect September 1, 1997.

 1-9           (b)  The change in law made by this Act does not apply to a

1-10     conservation and reclamation district all the territory of which is

1-11     included in more than one municipality before September 1, 1997,

1-12     and the former law is continued in effect for purposes of

1-13     abolishing such a district.

1-14           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-15     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-16     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-17     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-18     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
