Senate Author: Zaffirini |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
House Sponsor: Hinojosa, Gina et al. |
Senate Bill 1743 amends the Education Code, Government Code, and Penal Code to abolish the Office for the Prevention of Developmental Disabilities as an independent office administratively attached to the Health and Human Services Commission, transfer the office to The University of Texas at Austin as a program, and rename the office as the Office for Healthy Children.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "The duties prescribed by Senate Bill 1743 can be performed by the Health and Human Services Commission using existing resources. Executive branch functions need not be assigned to universities."
