Texas, 78th Legislature, Regular Session, 2003, That House Rule 13,

resolve the differences on House Bill 1365, relating to the Texas
emissions reduction plan, to consider and take action on the
following matter:
(1) House Rule 13, Section (9)(a)(2), is suspended in order
to allow the committee to omit text from Section 151.0515(a), Tax
Code, as amended by both houses, so that the section reads as

(a) In this section, "equipment" includes all off-road,
heavy-duty diesel equipment [classified as construction

mining equipment but not certain drilling equipment is added to the
kinds of equipment subject to the sale, lease, or rental surcharge
on new or used equipment.
(2) House Rule 13, Sections (9)(a)(3) and (4), are suspended
to allow the committee to add the following text to Section 27 of
the bill to read as follows:
(c) The change in law made by Section 25 of this Act does not
affect speed limits that have been approved by the Texas
Transportation Commission before the effective date of this Act.

speed limit approved by the Texas Transportation Commission before
the effective date of the Act is not affected by the change in law
made by Section 25 of the Act.
