1-13                 (1)  committed an offense under the following
1-14     provisions of the Penal Code:
1-15                       (A)  Title 5;

 2-1           (c)  Conduct that occurs before the effective date of this

 2-4           SECTION 3.  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.
