BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

Current law does not address the compensation of the board of directors of the Bexar-Medina-Atascosa Counties Water Control and Improvement District No. 1. Directors are allowed to charge any fee for the director's service to the board.

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.

EFFECTIVE DATE

On passage, or, if the act does not receive the necessary vote, the act takes effect September 1, 2009.
