FORTY-SECOND LEGISLATURE-REGULAR SESSION. 9
REGARDING SALARIES OF OFFICERS AND MEMBERS
OF THE LEGISLATURE.
H. B. No. 19.] CHAPTER 7.
An Act amending Article 6824 of the Revised Civil Statutes of Texas
of 19,25, and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
SECTION 1. That Article 6824 of the Revised Civil Statutes of
the State of Texas of 1925 be amended so as to hereinafter read
as follows:
"Article 6824. The salaries of officers shall not be increased
nor diminished during the term of office of the officers entitled
thereto, provided, however, that the members of the Legislature
by majority vote may at any time set their salaries at any
amount within the Constitutional limit."
SEC. 2. The fact that since the last session of the Legislature
of the State of Texas the people of the State of Texas have
adopted a Constitutional amendment providing for an increase
in the limit of the salaries to be received by members of the Legislature,
and it no longer being necessary to retain such Article
on the Statutes as worded, and the further fact that there is
some question as to whether or not the members of the Legislature
may receive the benefit of the Constitutional amendment
as adopted by the people of the State of Texas in November,
1930, creates an emergency and an imperative public necessity
that the Constitutional Rule requiring bills to be read on three
several days be suspended, and the same is hereby suspended,
and this Act shall take effect and be in force from and after its
passage, and it is so enacted.
Approved January 16, 1931.
Effective January 16, 1931.
[NOTE: H. B. No. 19 passed the House by a vote of 136 yeas,
