A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-1 AN ACT
1-2 relating to the state's share of the costs under the brush control
1-3 cost-share program.
1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Section 203.154(a), Agriculture Code, is amended
1-6 to read as follows:
1-7 (a) Not more than 80 [70] percent of the total cost of a
1-8 single brush control project may be made available as the state's
1-9 share in cost sharing.
1-10 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
1-11 SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act applies only
1-12 to a brush control project approved for funding under Chapter 203,
1-13 Agriculture Code, as amended by this Act, on or after the effective
1-14 date of this Act. A brush control project approved for funding
1-15 under Chapter 203, Agriculture Code, before the effective date of
1-16 this Act is covered by the law in effect when the project was
1-17 approved for funding, and the former law is continued in effect for
1-18 that purpose.
1-19 SECTION 4. 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.
