DIGEST AND PURPOSE 

Current law does not specify that a member of the governing body of a
state agency or state officer who governs a state agency may not receive
compensatory time under this subchapter or another state statute. As
proposed, S.B. 89 would add a new section to current legislation to
clarify the guidelines for salary amounts, overtime, and compensatory time
for state officials.  

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to
any state officer, institution, or agency.
