1-4 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-5 SECTION 1. Amend Article 21.28-C, Section 5(10), Insurance

1-7 (10) "Member insurer" means any insurer [person] who:

1-15 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
1-16 SECTION 3. EMERGENCY CLAUSE. The importance of this
1-17 legislation and the crowded condition of the calendars in both

1-19 the constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-20 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-21 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-22 passage, and it is so enacted.
