Committee Report (Substituted)



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Four years ago, the Texas Department of Transportation transferred 44.07
acres of land to the General Services Commission to be used for the Texas
State Cemetery (cemetery). A recent survey of the cemetery found that the
original metes and bounds description of the land was recorded incorrectly.
C.S.H.B. 3045 updates and corrects the metes and bounds recorded in the
Government Code for the cemetery. 

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

SECTION 1.  Amends Section 2165.256(b), Government Code, to replace the
metes and bounds description of the State Cemetery . 

SECTION 2.Effective date: September 1, 1999.

SECTION 3.Emergency clause.

COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL TO SUBSTITUTE

C.S.H.B. 3045 modifies the original in the caption by stating that this
bill is related to property dedicated to the State Cemetery, rather than
related to the Texas State Cemetery Annex. 

This substitute differs from the original bill in SECTION 1 (Section
2165.256, Government Code), by modifying the metes and bounds description
of the State Cemetery and by modifying the original bill to conform to
Legislative Council format.
