 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to eligibility for appointment to an appraisal review
 1-3     board.
 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 of an appraisal district established for a county having a
 1-9     population of 300,000 or less if within the 24 calendar months
1-10     preceding the calendar month in which the person would qualify for
1-11     office as a member of the board the person served as [is]:
1-12                 (1)  an [a former] officer or employee of the appraisal
1-13     district or a taxing unit for which the appraisal district
1-14     appraises property;
1-15                 (2)  a [former] member of the board of directors of the
1-16     appraisal district; or

1-18     taxing unit for which the appraisal district appraises property.
1-19           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-20     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-21     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-22     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-23     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-24     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
 2-1     passage, and it is so enacted.
