Senate Bill 1893 amends the Government Code to, among other provisions, require the Texas Judicial Council to collect pertinent information from the presiding judges of each administrative judicial region in Texas regarding the amount and character of any business transacted by the presiding judges and to require the presiding judges to report monthly any such information required by the council. The bill creates the Tenth and Eleventh Administrative Judicial Regions on September 1, 2017, sets out the composition of those regions, and revises the composition of the First and Second Administrative Judicial Regions to reflect the creation of the additional regions. The bill takes effect on June 15, 2017, except as otherwise provided.
