RIVER AUTHORITY DIRECTORS
Statutes as amended), shall be considered and construed as more specifi-
cally expressing certain existing powers and cumulatively granting certain
other powers to hospital districts created or which may be created under
such Act."
Sec. 2. If any provision of this Act is for any reason held unconstitu-
tional, the unconstitutionality thereof shall not affect the remaining por-
tions of the Act; and the Legislature hereby declares that it would have
passed the Act, and each part thereof, irrespective of the fact that some
part thereof might be declared unconstitutional.
Sec. 3. The fact, that the existing laws of the State of Texas do not
now adequately provide express discretionary powers to hospital districts
created and operating under the authority of Chapter 266, Acts of the 53rd
Legislature, Regular Session, as amended, (Article 4494-n, Vernon's
Annotated Civil Statutes, as amended), thus unduly leaving uncertain the
discretionary power of the Board of Managers, with the approval of the
Commissioners Court, in behalf of and to the benefit of such hospital dis-
trict, to cooperate and contract with other governmental and private en-
tities, creates an emergency and 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.
Passed the Senate, March 21, 1963: Yeas 30, Nays 0; passed the House,
May 8, 1963, by a non-record vote.
Approved May 18, 1963.
Effective 90 days after May 24, 1963, date of adjournment.
