SENATE BILL 1545 |
SENATE AUTHOR: Sibley |
EFFECTIVE: 09-01-99 |
HOUSE SPONSOR: Hunter |
Under previous law, when the legislature is not in session, the State Cemetery Committee could authorize burial in the state cemetery if it found that the deceased made a significant contribution to Texas history. Senate Bill 1545 expands that power to allow the committee to act during legislative sessions as well.
