If the coordinating board does not approve the creation of that system on or before August 31, 1999, the Texas Tech University System is not created and this Act has no effect. SECTION ____. The importance of this legislation and the crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an emergency and an imperative public necessity that the constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, and that this Act take effect and be in force according to its terms, and it is so enacted.
