 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 240.904(d), Local Government Code, is
 1-6     amended to read as follows:
 1-7           (d)  To facilitate compliance with an order adopted under
 1-8     Subsection (c), the order must be adopted before:

1-12     fireworks season.
1-13           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-14     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-15     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-16     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-17     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-18     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
