appropriated out of the General Revenue to pay the per diem
and mileage of members, to pay the per diem of officers and
employees, and to pay the contingent expenses of the 3rd Called
Session of the 42d Legislature of the State of Texas, convened
by proclamation of the Governor on the 30th day of August,
1932, to supplement the like appropriation contained in the
General and Special Laws of Texas, passed at the Regular Session
of the 42d Legislature; to pay any unpaid vouchers or
warrants held by members, officers or employees of the Regular
Session, 1st and 2nd Called Sessions of the 42d Legislature
or any unpaid claims and accounts authorized by either the
Senate or the House of Representatives of said Legislature at
its Regular Session, 1st and 2nd Called Sessions, to pay any and
all sums for whatever purpose authorized to be expended by
concurrent resolution of said Legislature at its Regular Session,
1st and 2nd Called Sessions; and to pay the per diem of members,
officers and employees for pre-session and post-session
work of the 3rd Called Session of the 42d Legislature of the
State of Texas.
SEC. 2. That the certificate of the Secretary of the Senate,
approved by the President thereof, or the Chief Clerk of the
House of Representatives, approved by the Speaker thereof,
shall be sufficient and the only evidence to the Comptroller upon
which he shall audit the claims for the mileage and per diem
of the members and the salaries and per diem of the officers
and employees of the 3rd Called Session of the 42d Legislature
and it shall be their duty, exclusively, to issue the necessary
warrants for the same upon the Treasury of the State of Texas
for the respective amounts.
SEC. 3. That the certificate of the Chairman of the Committee
on Contingent Expense of the Senate, approved by the
President of the Senate, or of the Chairman of the Committee
on Contingent Expenses of the House of Representatives, approved
by the Speaker of the House, as the case may be, shall
be sufficient authority to authorize the Comptroller to issue
warrants upon the Treasury of the State of Texas for the payment
of accounts for contingent expenses herein provided to
be paid.
SEC. 4. The fact that the 3rd Called Session of the 42d
Legislature of the State of Texas is now in session, and public
policy requires that the appropriation made by this Act shall
be made immediately available, creates an emergency and an
imperative public necessity that the Constitutional Rule requiring
bills to be read on three several days in each House be suspended,
and said Rule is hereby suspended, and that this Act
shall take effect and be in force from and after its passage, and
it is so enacted.
Approved September 22, 1932.
Effective September 22, 1932.
