What does this mean re: the Texas constitution? I did a search & it turned up a few sections.

(b) When such a period of emergency or the immediate threat of enemy attack exists, the Legislature may suspend procedural rules imposed by this Constitution that relate to:
(1) the order of business of the Legislature;
(2) the percentage of each house of the Legislature necessary to constitute a quorum;
(3) the requirement that a bill must be read on three days in each house before it has the force of law;
I doubt it, section (b) doesn't seem to be fulfilled.texasmusic wrote:This one?CJD wrote:The Texas Constitution requires the bill to be heard on 3 several days. They can suspend this rule, however.texasmusic wrote:"Suspend the constitutional three day rule"

I would agree it is not, but its all I could find with relevance in Article 3.CJD wrote:I doubt it, section (b) doesn't seem to be fulfilled.texasmusic wrote:This one?CJD wrote:The Texas Constitution requires the bill to be heard on 3 several days.

That's what the confusion is right now. We don't know because we can't find the amendment just passed(or has not been published at this point in time), and compare the language to both amendments.jamminbutter wrote:Why does the bill have to go back to the House? Is what passed the Senate not exactly the same language as the House version?
