1-12     or material is needed].
1-13           (c)  The commission by rule shall establish a deadline for
1-14     the submission of additional information or material after the
1-15     applicant receives notice from the commission that the information

1-18           SECTION 2.  (a)  This Act takes effect September 1, 1999.

1-21     submitted on or after the effective date of this Act.
1-22           SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-23     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-24     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
 2-1     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
 2-2     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
