House Bill 3910 |
House Author: Sherman, Sr. et al. |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: West |
House Bill 3910 amends the Local Government Code to provide for the establishment and powers of supplemental county civil service commissions to assist in administering the civil service system in Dallas County.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "The Legislature has not shown the need for House Bill 3910, which would have created additional bureaucracy and increased the number of unelected officials with final decision‑making power over county civil service matters. If workload is the problem, the answer is streamlined operations, not state laws creating unaccountable creatures like “supplemental” commissions. There is no apparent justification for singling out one county and giving it this ill-advised carve-out."
