Section 231.006, Family Code, is amended by 1-7 adding Subsection (j) to read as follows: 1-8 (j) A state agency may accept a bid that does not include 1-9 the information required under Subsection (c) if the state agency 1-10 collects the information before the contract, grant, or loan is 1-11 executed. 1-12 SECTION 2.

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.
