BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

As new statutes continue to be added to law that deal with municipalities
and old statutes remain untouched, many aspects of the language used in
Texas statutes become archaic or contradictory.  Prior to the 77th
Legislature, certain laws affecting municipalities and counties in the
Criminal Procedure, Government, and Local Government codes were in need of
clarifications, technical corrections, and minor changes.  House Bill 1265
makes these clarifications, corrections, and changes.  

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 1265 amends the Criminal Procedure, Government, and Local
Government codes to make clarifications of, technical corrections in, and
minor changes to certain laws affecting municipalities and counties.  

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
