results thereof are hereby ratified, validated and confirmed. The fact that
by inadvertence or oversight any act was omitted by the Commissioners
Court or any official of any such county in ordering an election or elec-
tions or in giving sufficient statutory notice thereof or in declaring the
results thereof shall in no wise invalidate any of such proceedings or the
creation of the hospital district sought to be created by such proceedings,
provided, however, that the provisions of this Section 2 shall not apply
to validate any hospital district which on the effective date of this Act is
involved in litigation in any district court of this state, the Court of Civil
Appeals, or the Supreme Court of Texas, at the effective date of this Act,
in which litigation the validity of the organization or creation of such
hospital district is attacked, if such litigation is ultimately determined
against the validity of the organization or creation of the hospital dis-
trict.
Sec. 3. The fact, that through an inadvertence Section 1 of Chapter
103, Acts of the 57th Legislature, Regular Session, 1961, as enacted pro-
vided that the law would become effective upon the adoption of Article
IX, Section 9 as a part of the Constitution of Texas as proposed by Senate
Joint Resolution No. 52, Regular Session, 1961, when the proper reference
should have been Article IX, Section 11 as proposed by Senate Joint Resolu-
tion No. 52, Regular Session, 1961, and the fact that this correction should
be made at the earliest possible date without injury to those who have
proceeded under such law as originally intended and designed, create 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.
