SRC-JLB H.B. 3584 78(R) BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center H.B. 3584 78R6347 KLA-DBy: Swinford (Bivins) Intergovernmental Relations 5/22/2003 Engrossed DIGEST AND PURPOSE Section 152.1771 of the Human Resource Code states the Moore County Juvenile Board shall be composed of seven members: the county judge of Moore County, two members appointed by the Moore County Commissioners Court, two members appointed by the Dumas Independent School District board of trustees, and two members appointed by the Dumas City Commission. That section further provides that all costs of expenses and salaries of the Moore County Juvenile Probation Department may be shared equally among the three entities. The commissioners court presently pays for all salaries and expenses of the department, yet only has the power to appoint two members to the board. H.B. 3584 amends the Human Resources Code to allow the Moore County Commissioners Court to appoint all six of the appointed members of the Moore County Juvenile Board. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency. SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS SECTION 1. Amends Sections 152.1771(a), (b), and (e), Human Resources Code, as follows: (a) Provides that the Moore County Juvenile Board is composed of the county judge and six persons appointed by the Moore County Commissioners Court, rather than two persons appointed by the commissioners court, two persons appointed by the Dumas City Commission, and two persons appointed by the trustees of the Dumas Independent School District.

(e) Deletes Subsection (e) regarding authorizing certain entities to agree to pay equally the costs of the salaries and expenses of the juvenile department. SECTION 2.
