 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the expiration of secondary alcoholic beverage permits
 1-3     and licenses.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 11.09, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
 1-6     amended to read as follows:
 1-7           Sec. 11.09.  EXPIRATION OF PERMIT.  A permit issued under
 1-8     this code expires one year after the date it is issued except as
 1-9     otherwise provided by this code.  Any secondary permit, including a
1-10     late hours permit or temporary permit, held by a basic or primary
1-11     permit holder expires on the same date as the primary permit, and
1-12     the commission may not prorate or refund any part of the secondary
1-13     permit fee because the application of this section results in the
1-14     expiration of the secondary permit in less than one year.
1-15           SECTION 2.  Section 61.03, Alcoholic Beverage Code, is
1-16     amended to read as follows:
1-17           Sec. 61.03.  DURATION AND EXPIRATION OF LICENSE.  No license
1-18     may be issued for a term longer than one year.  Any license except
1-19     a branch, importer's, importer's carrier's, or temporary license
1-20     expires one year after the date on which it is issued.  Any
1-21     secondary license, including a late hours license or temporary
1-22     license, held by a basic or primary license or permit holder
1-23     expires on the same date as the primary license or permit, and the
1-24     commission may not prorate or refund any part of the secondary
 2-1     license fee because the application of this section results in the
 2-2     expiration of the secondary license in less than one year.
 2-3           SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
 2-4           SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
 2-5     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
 2-6     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
 2-7     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
 2-8     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
