House Bill 1166 |
House Author: Stephenson et al. |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Kolkhorst |
House Bill 1166 amends the Civil Practice and Remedies Code to extend the applicability of statutory provisions relating to the limited liability of electric utilities in Harris County that allow public use of the utility's property for recreation and certain other purposes to an electric utility located in a county with a population of 550,000 or more that is adjacent to Harris County.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "I signed House Bill 931, which extends statewide the provisions of section 75.022 [sic] of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code regarding public parks in utility rights of way. Because House Bill 1166 extended those provisions only to one additional county, it was superfluous and could have caused confusion had it become law."
