A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the requirement that the county clerk of certain |
|
counties prepare a written records management and preservation |
|
services plan. |
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
SECTION 1. Subsection (e), Section 118.0216, Local |
|
Government Code, is amended to read as follows: |
|
(e) [In a county that is adjacent to an international
|
|
boundary, the county clerk shall prepare an annual written plan for
|
|
funding the automation projects and records management and
|
|
preservation services performed by the clerk. After a public
|
|
hearing, the plan shall be considered for approval by the
|
|
commissioners court. Funds from the records management and
|
|
preservation account may be expended only as provided by the plan.] |
|
All expenditures from the records management and preservation |
|
account shall comply with Subchapter C, Chapter 262. |
|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act to Subsection |
|
(e), Section 118.0216, Local Government Code, applies only to a |
|
requirement that a county clerk prepare an annual written plan on or |
|
after the effective date of this Act. A plan adopted before the |
|
effective date of this Act and expenditures under that plan are |
|
subject to the requirements of Subsection (e), Section 118.0216, |
|
Local Government Code, as that law existed on the date the plan was |
|
adopted, and the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
SECTION 3. 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, 2009. |
