 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-4           SECTION 1.  Subchapter D, Chapter 11, Education Code, is
 1-5     amended by adding Section 11.165 to read as follows:
 1-6           Sec. 11.165.  ACCESS TO SCHOOL CAMPUSES.  The board of
 1-7     trustees of an independent school district may adopt rules to keep
 1-8     school campuses, including school libraries, open after school
 1-9     hours for academic programs and recreational activities.
1-10           SECTION 2.  This Act applies beginning with the 1999-2000
1-11     school year.
1-12           SECTION 3.  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.
