                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the ability of tenant representatives to serve a
 1-3     certain number of consecutive terms as commissioners of local
 1-4     housing authorities.
 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-6           SECTION 1.  Section 392.0331(f), Local Government Code, is
 1-7     amended to read as follows:
 1-8           (f)  A commissioner appointed under this section may not
 1-9     serve more than two [be reappointed to] consecutive two-year terms.
1-10           SECTION 2.  Section 392.0331(f), Local Government Code, as
1-11     amended by this Act, applies to a commissioner appointed under
1-12     Section 392.0331, Local Government Code, without regard to whether
1-13     the commissioner was appointed on, before, or after the effective
1-14     date of this Act.
1-15           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-16     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-17     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-18     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-19     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-20     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-21     passage, and it is so enacted.
