                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the availability of injunctive relief to prohibit use

 1-4     exemption.
 1-5           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-6           SECTION 1.  Section 11.142, Water Code, is amended by adding
 1-7     Subsection (d) to read as follows:
 1-8           (d)  If the commission has reason to believe that a violation
 1-9     or threat of violation of this section has occurred or is about to
1-10     occur, the executive director shall have a suit instituted in
1-11     district court for injunctive relief to restrain the violation or
1-12     threat of violation in the manner provided by Section 7.032.
1-13           SECTION 2.  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,
1-18     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-19     passage, and it is so enacted.
