H.B. 66 78(1)    BILL ANALYSIS


H.B. 66
By: Gallego
Government Reform
Committee Report (Unamended)



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, there is a qualification in the Government Code that states
that not more than one member of the Texas Veterans Commission can be from
a Senatorial District composed of a single county. H.B. 66 deletes this
qualification in the interest of allowing commission member eligibility
for persons living in areas of high veteran concentration and maintaining
the current composition of the Texas Veterans Commission. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any
rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or
institution. 

ANALYSIS

Amends Section 434.003(c), Government Code, by striking the qualification
in the Government Code that states that not more than one member of the
Texas Veterans Commission can be from a Senatorial District composed of a
single county.  

EFFECTIVE DATE

November 1, 2003.
