                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the eligibility of certain persons for appointment to
 1-3     the appraisal review board of certain appraisal districts.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 6.412(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as
 1-6     follows:
 1-7           (c)  A person is ineligible to serve on the appraisal review
 1-8     board if the person is:
 1-9                 (1)  a former officer or employee of the appraisal
1-10     district or a taxing unit for which the appraisal district
1-11     appraises property;
1-12                 (2)  a former member of the board of directors of the
1-13     appraisal district; or
1-14                 (3)  in an appraisal district established for a county
1-15     having a population of 50,000 or more, a former member of the
1-16     governing body of a  taxing unit for which the appraisal district
1-17     appraises property.
1-18           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-19     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-20     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-21     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-22     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-23     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-24     passage, and it is so enacted.
