Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Many district attorneys hold public office while maintaining private
practices due to financial necessity.  This can sometimes result in a
district attorney being unable to focus all attention on official
prosecutorial duties.  House Bill 1015 supplements the 83rd judicial
district attorneys' salaries when they forfeit their private practice to
concentrate solely on prosecutorial duties by providing that the
professional prosecutors law is applicable to state prosecutors for the
83rd Judicial District. 

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

House Bill 1015 amends the Government Code to provide that professional
prosecutors law is applicable to state prosecutors for the 83rd Judicial
District. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
