Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Former State Representative Susan Gurley McBee served the citizens of Del
Rio as a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1975 to 1983.
Ms. McBee followed in the footsteps of her mother, who served two terms in
the house during the 1950s. Ms. McBee distinguished herself as a
hardworking and exemplary legislator, setting a standard to which public
officials for generations to come may aspire. In addition, Ms. McBee was
the only woman in Texas history to serve as chair of the prestigious House
Calendars Committee. 

Ms. McBee followed her service in the legislature with an outstanding
career as a teacher in the Del Rio public school system, and her influence
on her students has been exemplary. In recognition of her commitment to the
well-being of this state and in honor of her lifetime commitment to the
people of Texas, it is truly fitting that Del Rio's new Texas Department of
Public Safety office building be named in her honor. 

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. 

ANALYSIS

H.C.R. 245 authorizes the General Services Commission to name the Del Rio
Department of Public Safety facility for Susan Gurley McBee. Provides that
the members of the Texas Legislature commend their former colleague for her
many accomplishments and extend best wishes to her, her family, and the
citizens of Del Rio.
