By: Duncan S.B. No. 211 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED AN ACT 1-1 relating to the notice of a decision in an administrative hearing 1-2 before a state agency. 1-3 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: 1-4 SECTION 1. Subsection (c), Section 2001.142, Government 1-5 Code, is amended to read as follows: 1-6 (c) A party or attorney of record notified by mail under 1-7 Subsection (b) is presumed to have been notified on the third day 1-8 after the date on which the notice is mailed. 1-9 SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 1999, and 1-10 applies only to a decision in an administrative hearing before a 1-11 state agency issued on or after that date. A decision in an 1-12 administrative hearing issued before the effective date of this Act 1-13 is governed by the law in effect when the order was issued, and the 1-14 former law is continued in effect for that purpose. 1-15 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the 1-16 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 1-17 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 1-18 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 1-19 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
