BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

 

In 1991, special legislation was enacted affecting Chambers County Public Hospital District No. 1 even though the District is a general law hospital district authorized by Chapter 286 of the Texas Health and Safety Code.  As part of the Texas Legislative Council's Special Districts Code project, TLC plans to include this special legislation in the Special Districts Code.

 

The special legislation includes a reference to a tax rate that is out of date, and the inclusion of this legislation in the Special Districts Code is confusing.

 

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.
