IRRIGATION-WAIVER OF LIEN
H. B. No. 556.] CHAPTER 91.
An Act to amend Article 7596, Chapter 1, Title 128, Revised Civil Statutes
of Texas, adopted at the Regular Session of the 39th Legislature,
to authorize conservation and reclamation districts co-operating under
contract with the United States to waive the preference lien given
them by statute, and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
SECTION 1. That Article 7596, Chapter 1, Title 128, Revised
Civil Statutes of the State of Texas, adopted at the Regular
Session of the 39th Legislature be amended so as to hereafter
read as follows:
"Article 7596. Every person, association of persons, corporation,
water improvement or irrigation district who has heretofore
constructed, or may hereafter construct any ditch, canal,
dam, lake or reservoir for the purpose of irrigation, and who
shall lease, rent, furnish or supply water to any person, association
of persons, water improvement district or corporation,
for the purpose of irrigation, shall, irrespective of contract,
have a preference lien superior to every other lien upon the crop
or crops raised upon the land thus irrigated;
Provided, however, that when any such irrigation, conservation
or reclamation district shall obtain a water supply under
contract with the United States, the Board of Directors of such
district may, by resolution duly entered upon the minutes of the
board, and with the consent of the Secretary of the Interior,
waive such preference lien, in whole or in part."
SEC. 2. The fact that persons in irrigation districts contracting
with the United States for a water supply have no adequate
means of financing the planting, cultivating and harvesting
of crops under existing statutes, and that the calendar of
the Legislature is crowded, creates an emergency and an imperative
public necessity demanding the suspension of the constitutional
rule requiring bills to be read on three several days
in each House, and said rule is suspended, and that this Act take
effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so
enacted.
Approved March 15, 1927
Effective March 15, 1927.
