House Bill 2622 |
House Author: Ortiz, Jr. |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Hinojosa |
House Bill 2622 amends the Transportation Code to provide that a board member of a metropolitan rapid transit authority in which the principal municipality has a population of less than 300,000 is eligible to participate in any health or other insurance benefit program offered to an employee of the authority as if the board member were an employee.
Reason Given for Veto: "I am vetoing House Bill No. 2622 at the author's request. The bill would extend employee health insurance benefits to board members of the Corpus Christi Regional Transportation Authority (CCRTA); however the CCRTA board has recently withdrawn its support of the bill."
