SENATE RESOLUTION

BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, That Senate Rule 12.03 be suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on House Bill 1112 (authority and powers of regional mobility authorities) to consider and take action on the following matter:

SECTION 16. Subchapter H, Chapter 370, Transportation Code, is amended by adding Section 370.333 to read as follows:

Sec. 370.333. VOLUNTARY DISSOLUTION OF AUTHORITY GOVERNED BY GOVERNING BODY OF MUNICIPALITY. In addition to the requirements of Section 370.331, an authority governed under Section 370.2511 may not be dissolved unless:

(1) the dissolution is approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the members of the governing body;

(2) all debts, obligations, and liabilities of the authority have been paid and discharged or adequate provision has been made for the payment of all debts, obligations, and liabilities;

(3) there are no suits pending against the authority, or adequate provision has been made for the satisfaction of any judgment, order, or decree that may be entered against it in any pending suit; and

(4) the authority has commitments from other governmental entities to assume jurisdiction of all authority transportation facilities.

Explanation: This change is necessary to enact additional requirements for the voluntary dissolution of a regional mobility authority governed by the governing body of a municipality.
