 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 545.307(a)(1), Transportation Code, is
 1-6     amended to read as follows:
 1-7                 (1)  "Commercial motor vehicle" means:
 1-8                       (A)  a commercial motor vehicle, as defined [has
 1-9     the meaning assigned] by Section 522.003, and includes a vehicle
1-10     meeting that definition regardless of whether the vehicle is used
1-11     for a commercial purpose; or
1-12                       (B)  a road tractor, truck tractor, pole trailer,
1-13     or semitrailer, as those terms are defined by Section 541.201.
1-14           SECTION 2.  The amendments made by this Act to Section
1-15     545.307, Transportation Code, apply in a subdivision for which
1-16     signs were posted under that section before the effective date of
1-17     this Act.  This Act does not require the filing of an additional
1-18     petition under that section for such a subdivision.
1-19           SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
1-20           SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-21     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-22     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-23     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-24     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
