House Bill 499 |
House Author: Guillen |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Garcia |
House Bill 499 amends the Transportation Code to revise the composition and terms of the public transportation advisory committee.
Reason Given for Veto: "House Bill 499 unnecessarily limits the field of candidates available for appointment to the Public Transportation Advisory Committee by the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, and the Speaker of the House. The bill also guarantees committee members a term of six years, which eliminates the appointing officers' ability to replace members at any time for poor performance. The appointment limitations in House Bill 499 would impede the appointing officers' ability to provide effective committee members to serve Texas."
