Office of House Bill AnalysisH.B. 1265
By: Clark
Urban Affairs
2/26/2001
Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

As new statutes continue to be added which deal with municipalities and as
old statutes remain untouched, many aspects of the language become archaic
or contradictory.  Currently, in the Criminal Procedure, Government, and
Local Government codes, certain laws affecting municipalities and counties
are in need of clarifications and technical corrections.  House Bill 1265
makes these clarifications and corrections.  

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 and technical corrections in
certain laws affecting municipalities and counties.  

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
