 1-3           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-4           SECTION 1.  Subsection (a), Section 154.002, Family Code, is
 1-5     amended to read as follows:
 1-6           (a)  If the child is fully enrolled in an accredited
 1-7     secondary school in a program leading toward a high school diploma
 1-8     or enrolled in courses for joint high school and junior college
 1-9     credit pursuant to Section 130.008, Education Code, the court may
1-10     render an original support order or modify an existing order
1-11     providing child support past the 18th birthday of the child.
1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
