1-11           SECTION 1.  Subsection (a), Section 22.084, Transportation

1-13           (a)  A joint board may enter into an agreement to spend the
1-14     proceeds of revenue bonds issued by its [If] constituent agencies,
1-15     the proceeds of bonds issued by [or] a nonprofit corporation
1-16     created under Section 22.152, [issues revenue bonds to finance the
1-17     construction or acquisition of a facility or other improvement at
1-18     an airport, the proceeds of the bonds] and any other airport income
1-19     or revenue [may be spent on projects for which the proceeds,
1-20     income, or revenue may otherwise be spent.  An agreement may be
1-21     made to spend all or a portion of the proceeds, income, or revenue]

1-27     board's rules and policies relating to creation of contracting
1-28     opportunities for minority- and women-owned businesses.
1-29           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-30     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-31     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-32     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-33     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-34     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-35     passage, and it is so enacted.
