BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

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
