Committee Report (Unamended)


DIGEST 

Currently, the Pampa Independent School District (ISD) is serviced by the
Borger Junior College District due to legislation passed during the 74th
Legislature which divided the state into 50 junior college district
service areas.  The bill geographically defined the service areas based on
the territories within the college's taxing district and surrounding
territories that received services from the college but were not located
in its taxing district.  Under its provisions, Pampa ISD was inadvertently
placed in the Borger Junior College District Service Area while the
remainder of Gray County was put in the Clarendon College District Service
Area.  S.B. 109 amends the statute defining service areas to include all
of Gray County in the Clarendon College District.   

PURPOSE

As proposed, S.B. 109 includes Gray County among the list of counties
serviced by the Clarendon College District, rather than by the Borger
Junior College District. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, institution, or agency.
