 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Subsection N, Section 2, Chapter 251, Acts of the
 1-6     53rd Legislature, Regular Session, 1953 (Article 4582b, Vernon's

 1-8           N.  The Texas Funeral Service Commission is subject to
 1-9     Chapter 325, Government Code (Texas Sunset Act).  Unless continued
1-10     in existence as provided by that chapter, the commission is
1-11     abolished and this Act expires September 1, 2001 [2003].
1-12           SECTION 2.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.
1-13           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-14     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-15     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-16     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-17     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
