Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, language in the Human Resources Code may not clearly set forth
several key aspects involving the administration of the Montgomery County
Juvenile Board (board).  H.B. 1877 modifies the matter of compensation for
board members and makes certain sections of the Human Resources Code
applicable to the board.  Those sections regard general expenses and
expenses of the board members and the juvenile court, and also pertain to
the fiscal officer, personnel, and the board members' duties.   

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.
