SRC-CDH S.B. 109 75(R)BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research CenterS.B. 109 By: Haywood Education 1-29-97 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. SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS SECTION 1.
