                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the employment of a person by counties with civil
 1-3     service systems.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 151.902, Local Government Code, is
 1-6     amended by adding Subsection (d) to read as follows:
 1-7           (d)  This section does not apply to the employment of a
 1-8     person who is employed under a county civil service system created
 1-9     under Chapter 158.
1-10           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-11     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-12     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-13     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-14     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-15     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-16     passage, and it is so enacted.
