AN ACT
relating to the issuance of anticipation notes or other obligations
by issuers located along the Gulf Coast in an emergency.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 1431.015(b), Government Code, is amended
to read as follows:
(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter or a
rating requirement prescribed by Chapter 1371, an issuer located

gulf may authorize the issuance of an anticipation note or other
obligation in the event of an emergency.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to an anticipation note or obligation issued on or after the

date the note or obligation was issued, and that law is continued in
effect for that purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2023.
