Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, state law only allows cities with a population greater than
150,000 to contract for the enforcement of warrants and delinquent traffic
violations.  H.B. 1100 eliminates this limitation and extends the law to
all home-rule municipalities.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution.
