 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 843.601, Government Code, is amended by
 1-6     adding Subsection (i) to read as follows:
 1-7           (i)  Notwithstanding Subsection (d)(4), the governing body of
 1-8     a subdivision that has adopted plan provisions provided under
 1-9     Subchapter H, Chapter 844, and has adopted a service requirement of
1-10     eight years for eligibility for service retirement may authorize
1-11     members who are elected by the voters of the subdivision to
1-12     establish credit under this section when they meet the service
1-13     requirement for eligibility for service retirement.
1-14           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-15     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-16     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-17     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-18     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-19     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-20     passage, and it is so enacted.
