S.B. 437 78(R)    BILL ANALYSIS


S.B. 437
By: Lindsay
Higher Education
Committee Report (Unamended)



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, Texas law does not include Cypress-Fairbanks Independent School
District (ISD) in the North Harris Montgomery Community College District
(NHMCCD) service area. Through an election held in August 2000,
Cypress-Fairbank ISD was added to the NHMCCD service area. As proposed,
S.B. 437 codifies the election result to include Cypress-Fairbanks ISD in
the service area of NHMCCD. 


RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

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

ANALYSIS

SB 437 amends Section 130.191, Education Code, to expand the service area
of the North Harris Montgomery Community College District to include
Cyrpress-Fairbanks Independent School District. 


EFFECTIVE DATE

This Act takes effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of
all the members elected to each house, as provided by Section 39, Article
III, Texas Constitution.  If this Act does not receive the vote necessary
for immediate effect, this Act takes effect September 1, 2003.
