BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 76th Legislature, language in the Human Resources Code did not
clearly set forth several key aspects involving the administration of the
Montgomery County Juvenile Board (board).  H.B. 1877 modifies the matter of
compensation for board members and makes certain sections of the Human
Resources Code applicable to the board.  Those sections regard general
expenses and expenses of the board members and the juvenile court, and also
pertain to the fiscal officer, personnel, and the board members' duties.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS
