BILL ANALYSIS

S.B. 1771

By: Campbell

Urban Affairs

Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority provides regional wastewater services for the area northeast of San Antonio, including Schertz, Cibolo, Selma, Randolph Air Force Base, and portions of Live Oak, San Antonio, and Universal City. Interested parties note that the authority has provided services both within its boundaries and in areas outside of its boundaries through long-term contracts with several cities, and these parties contend that adjustments to the authority's boundaries should be made based on these services. S.B. 1771 seeks to provide residents served by the authority with the opportunity to vote in authority elections and to have representation on the board of directors by adjusting the boundaries of the Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority.

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

S.B. 1771 amends Section 4, Chapter 347, Acts of the 62nd Legislature, Regular Session, 1971, to change the boundaries of the Cibolo Creek Municipal Authority.

EFFECTIVE DATE

On passage, or, if the bill does not receive the necessary vote, September 1, 2013.
