| IN RE: | HB383 by Heflin (Relating to county bail bond board meetings in certain counties.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted |
The bill would amend the Occupations Code to require the county bail bond board in a county with a population of less than 50,000 to meet at least four times each year during the months of January, April, July, and October at the call of the presiding officer.
Under current statute, all counties' bail bond boards are required to meet at least once a month and at other times at the call of the presiding officer. If a board in a smaller county is allowed to meet less often, there would be a small savings in meeting-related expenses.
