BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, a commissioner of Brazoria County Drainage
District Number 4 (commissioner) was paid a salary of $25 a day and
received a per diem of $7.50.  A commissioner's salary and per diem had not
been raised since the Brazoria County Drainage District was created in
1995.  House Bill 3159 increases a commissioner's salary to $30 per day and
per diem to $10.  

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 3159 amends law to increase from $25 per day to $30 per day the
salary of a commissioner of Brazoria County Drainage District Number 4 and
to increase from $7.50 to $10 a commissioner's per diem. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

June 15, 2001.
