Sections 3 to 6 of Acts 1993, 73rd Leg., ch. 223
provide:
"Sec. 3. The legislature finds that:
"(1) Chapter 673, Acte of the 70th Legislature,
Regular Seaeion, 1987, was adopted and approved,
effective January I, 1988;
"(2) that Act, implementing Section 48-e, Artide
III, of the Texas Constitution, relates to the cre-
ation and operation of emergency services dis-
tricts; Section 33 of that Act provides for the
ron~~e*^?cr..f a rural fire prevention district to an
emergency services district;
"(3) the intent of the legislature in adopting
Section 33 of that Act was that, it a majority o[ the
voters in a rural Cue prevention district voted to
convert the district to an emergency services dis-
triM, the boundaries of the emergency services
district would be coextensive with the boundaries
of the Cue prevention district, and the territory
within the boundaries of the emergency services
district would be ecexteneive with the territory
60
within the boundaries of Che fire prevention dis-
trict;
"(4) in certain counties in this elate, valid elec-
tions were conducted fo converi certain rural fire
prevention districts to emergency services dis-
tricts, in which elections a majority of the partic(-
pating votere voted in favor of the conversion;
however, the boundaries o[ those emergency ser-
vices districts are not coextensive with the bound-
aries of the fu•e prevention districts, and the terri-
tory within the boundaries of the emergency ser-
vices districts is not coextensive with the territory
that was within the boundaries of the fue preven-
lion districts;
"(6) the act of establishing boundaries of the
emergency eendces ?ia.-;e;< f:;"t n.n nut coexten-
sive with the boundaries of the rural fire preven-
tion district, end the act of excluding from the
emergency eervicea districts territory that was
within the boundaries of the ffre prevention dis-
tricts, were inconsistent with Section 33 of that
Act, contrary to the intent of the legislature, and
invalid; and
'(6) the health, safety, and welfare of pereons~
and property in those counties creates an emer-;
gency that requires immediate action by the legis-y
lature. 9
