 1-7           Sec. 7.025.  ANONYMOUS COMPLAINTS.  A person may file an
 1-8     anonymous complaint with the agency, and the agency may not refuse
 1-9     to record and investigate the complaint solely on the grounds that
1-10     it was filed anonymously.
1-11           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-12     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-13     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-14     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
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.
