additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or
institution.

subsection to allow a 10year extension of the agreement between a
municipality and a district under Subsection (n), Section 43.0751, Local
Government Code.  The bill also provides that an agreement may only be
extended once under this subsection.
