BILL ANALYSIS
By: Paxton
Committee Report (Substituted)
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
From 2001 to 2005 Collin County saw population increases that burdened the district court system. The increase in population in Collin County has increased the number of court cases on the dockets of the existing district courts creating a necessity to create a new district court.
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
The act would create the 429th Judicial District composed of Collin County.
EFFECTIVE DATE
October 1, 2008.
COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL TO SUBSTITUTE
The substitute deletes the portion of the original bill which would have created a second district court in Collin County.
