 1-6           (c)  The process for considering applications for medical

 1-8     revocation of medical staff membership and privileges must afford
 1-9     each physician, podiatrist, and dentist procedural due process.
1-10           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-11     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-12     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-13     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-14     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-15     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
