 1-7     by adding Section 106.15 to read as follows:
 1-8           Sec. 106.15.  EMPLOYMENT HARMFUL TO MINORS.  (a) In this
 1-9     section:
1-10                 (1)  "Nude" means a person who is:

1-15     is female, or any portion of the genitals or buttocks.
1-16                 (2)  "Sexually oriented commercial activity" has the
1-17     meaning assigned by Section 43.251, Penal Code.
1-18           (b)  The commission or administrator shall cancel a license

1-22                 (1)  in a sexually oriented commercial activity; or

 2-1           SECTION 2.  (a) This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
 2-2           (b)  The change in law made by this Act applies only to a
 2-3     violation described by Section 106.15, Alcoholic Beverage Code, as
 2-4     added by this Act, that occurs on or after the effective date of
 2-5     this Act.
 2-6           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
 2-7     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
 2-8     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
 2-9     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
2-10     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
