Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1455 amends the Local Government Code to extend to the voters in a county with a population of more than 25,000 the authority to petition the commissioners court for a pay raise referendum for sheriff's department members. Currently, voters in counties with a population of more than 30,000 have this authority. The act also provides that the election be held in conjunction with a county-wide election scheduled for other purposes and requires the inclusion of certain language on the ballot.
