House Bill 1428 amends the Government Code to extend the exemption for certain collection services contracts from provisions governing contingent fee contracts for legal services to any contract for legal services entered into by a political subdivision for the collection of a delinquent obligation. For purposes of this exemption, an obligation does not include a fine or penalty that results from an action by a political subdivision under specified Water Code enforcement provisions.
