            House Bill 840 amends the Local Government Code to set out a process for the selection of the public members of a county salary grievance committee that a county may use as an alternative to the random drawing of paper slips. The alternative process allows a commissioners court to direct the county clerk to create a computer‑generated, randomized list of the names of all persons who served on a grand jury in the county during the preceding calendar year and requires the commissioners court to take certain actions at the meeting for the selection of the public members and alternates.
