Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 86(R)

 House Bill 1476

House Author:  Anderson, Charles "Doc"

Effective:  Vetoed

Senate Sponsor:  Birdwell


            Current law authorizes the commissioners court of a county with a population of more than 200,000 and less than 220,000 to regulate game rooms. House Bill 1476 amends the Local Government Code to raise the maximum population threshold of such a county to 250,000.

Governor's Reason For Veto: "House Bill 1476 attempts to amend the statute already repealed by House Bill 892. As such, House Bill 1476 is unnecessary."
