42 GENERAL LAWS.
PUBLIC SCHOOL SCHOLASTIC CENSUS.
S. B. No. 232.] CHAPTER 33.
An Act to provide for making the rolls and summaries of the Scholastic
Census of the Public Schools; to provide for making affidavits supporting
said rolls and summaries, and prescribing a penalty for making a
false affidavit; repealing all laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith;
and declaring an emergency.
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Texas:
SECTION 1. Any person who is required to make a summary
of the Scholastic Census rolls showing the number of children
of each race that will be included in the Scholastic Census on
the first day of the next September shall make oath to his rolls
and summaries and to the faithful and actual discharge of his
duties and deliver the rolls, together with the forms arranged
in alphabetical order, to the County Superintendent on or before
May 1 next after his appointment.
SEC. 2. Any Census trustee who shall wilfully fail or refuse
to obtain the necessary information in regard to any child who
should be included in the Scholastic Census on the first day of
September next thereafter or who shall wilfully fail or refuse
to include any child within said ages in his rolls or shall wilfully
make any false report in his rolls or summaries shall be
guilty of false swearing and shall be punished as prescribed
by Law for that offense. And if the County Superintendent
finds or believes that any Census Trustee has violated any duty
required under this Act, such County Superintendent shall report
said Census Trustee to' the Grand Jury of the county at its
next session after discovering such breach of duty.
SEC. 3. All laws and parts of laws in conflict herewith are
hereby repealed.
SEC. 4. The fact that the Scholastic Census of the State of
Texas is taken during the month of March and the further fact
that there is now no specific Criminal Statute providing for the
punishment of persons who make false reports create an emergency
and an imperative public necesessity that the Constitutional
Rule requiring bills to be read on three several days be
suspended and said Rule is so suspended and that this Act take
effect and be in force from and after its passage, and it is so
enacted.
Approved March 24, 1931.
Effective March 24, 1931.
