A block group is designated by the 3-6 common first digit of all the blocks in the block group. For 3-7 example, blocks numbered 301, 342A, 342B, and 399Z located in a 3-8 single tract would all belong to the block group 3 for that tract, 3-9 and all the blocks in that tract beginning with a 3 would 3-10 constitute block group 3. 3-11 SECTION 3. (a) The changes made by this Act apply to the 3-12 election of the members of the Texas House of Representatives 3-13 beginning with the general election in 1996 for members of the 75th 3-14 Legislature. 3-15 (b) The changes made by this Act do not affect the 3-16 membership or districts of the Texas House of Representatives of 3-17 the 74th Legislature. If a vacancy occurs in the office of a 3-18 member of the Texas House of Representatives of the 74th 3-19 Legislature and a special election is held to fill the vacancy, the 3-20 election shall be held in the district as it existed when the 3-21 vacating member was elected. 3-22 SECTION 4. The importance of this legislation and the 3-23 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an 3-24 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the 3-25 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several 3-26 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended, 3-27 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its 4-1 passage, and it is so enacted.
