 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 23, Development Corporation Act of 1979
 1-6     (Article 5190.6, Vernon's Texas Civil Statutes), is amended by
 1-7     adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:

 1-9     obtain with the consent of the unit the following kinds of
1-10     insurance coverage through the unit's insurance coverage, including
1-11     any self-funded insurance coverage or insurance coverage provided
1-12     under an interlocal agreement:

1-19                 (4)  property coverage to protect the corporation.
1-20           SECTION 2.  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,
 2-1     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
 2-2     passage, and it is so enacted.
