Senate Bill 795 amends the Government Code to authorize the entity vested with the management and control of a municipality's utility system to contract for the purchase of electricity under terms the entity considers appropriate, notwithstanding any limitation provided by a home rule charter. The bill authorizes the management and control of a utility system to be vested in a board of trustees composed of no more than seven members, one of whom must be the mayor of the municipality, if the municipality is located in a county with a population of at least 375,000; that is located on an international border; and that borders the Gulf of Mexico.
