 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-4           SECTION 1.  Section 437.0123(a), Health and Safety Code, is
 1-5     amended to read as follows:
 1-6           (a)  A county that has a population of at least 300,000 [2.8
 1-7     million] or a public health district at least part of which is in a
 1-8     county that has a population of at least 300,000 [2.8 million] may
 1-9     require the payment of a fee for issuing or renewing a permit or
1-10     for performing an inspection to enforce this chapter or a rule
1-11     adopted under this chapter.
1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
