Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 86(R)

House Bill 1031

House Author:  Deshotel

Effective:  Vetoed

Senate Sponsor:  Creighton

            House Bill 1031 amends the Local Government Code to authorize the commissioners court of Jefferson County to regulate game rooms.

Governor's Reason for Veto: "I have signed House Bill 892, which gives all counties statewide the authority to regulate game rooms by removing all local bracket provisions from the relevant statute. House Bill 1031 attempts to amend the provisions already repealed by House Bill 892. As such, House Bill 1031 is unnecessary."
