By: Deuell

Corrections

Committee Report (Unamended)

 

 

 

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

 

Currently, the Juvenile Board in Fannin County consists of the county judge and the district judges in Fannin County.  Under current statute, the board is not subject to the standard requirements pertaining to quarterly meetings, general expenses, reimbursements for job-related expenses, staff, and general duties of the board.

 

As proposed, S.B. 1886 amends current law relating to the Fannin County Juvenile 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.

 

ANALYSIS

 

SB 1886 amends Section 152.0031, Human Resources Code, to provide that, except as otherwise provided by this chapter, this subchapter does not apply to a county that is served by a juvenile board created under Subchapter C (County Juvenile Board in Counties With a Family District Court) or D (Provisions Applicable to Specific Counties) and makes a nonsubstantive change.

 

SB 1886  amends Section 152.0801, Human Resources Code, by deleting existing Subsection (a) designation and providing that the Fannin County Juvenile Board is governed by Subchapter B (Creation of Juvenile board in Certain Counties).

 

The bill further amends Section 152.0801, Human Resources Code, by deleting existing text that provides that the Fannin County Juvenile Board is composed of the county judge and the district judges in Fannin County.  It deletes existing Subsection (b), Subsection (c), Subsection (d) and  Subsection (e) and makes nonsubstantive changes.

 

EFFECTIVE DATE

 

Upon passage, or, if the Act does not receive the necessary vote, the Act takes effect September 1, 2011.
