Enrolled Bill Summary

Legislative Session: 76(R)

SENATE BILL 1007  

SENATE AUTHOR: Wentworth

EFFECTIVE: 09-01-99         

HOUSE SPONSOR: Hartnett

Previous law allowed a statutory probate judge in a county with a population of one million or more, and with approval of the commissioners court, to hire a court coordinator, an administrative assistant, and an auditor for the court. Senate Bill 1007 amends the Government Code to remove the population requirement and require the judge to hire staff for those positions.
