Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 841 amends the Government Code to broaden the jurisdiction of municipal courts in certain criminal cases to those that arise under a resolution, rule, or order of a joint board operating an airport. It provides that the jurisdiction of a municipal court does not affect the powers given to the joint board, nor do the powers of the joint board affect the jurisdiction of the municipal court. The act further provides that the jurisdiction of a municipal court does not authorize its officers or employees to regulate, protect, or police the airport except as permitted by a valid interlocal agreement.
