Legislative Session: 86(R)

House Bill 1120

House Author:  Miller et al.

Effective:  Vetoed

Senate Sponsor:  Miles et al.

            House Bill 1120 amends the Local Government Code to authorize a county assistance district created by Fort Bend County to perform certain functions both inside and outside the district.

Governor's Reason for Veto: "Special districts exist to perform functions within their districts, but House Bill 1120 would extend this power outside the boundaries without adequate safeguards to protect against the potential for abuse."
