A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to county bail bond boards. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 1704.055(c), Occupations Code, is |
|
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) A board in a county with a population of less than |
|
|
150,000 [50,000] shall meet: |
|
|
(1) at least four times each year during the months of |
|
|
January, April, July, and October at the call of the presiding |
|
|
officer; and |
|
|
(2) at other times at the call of the presiding |
|
|
officer. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 1704.162, Occupations Code, is amended |
|
|
by adding Subsection (h) to read as follows: |
|
|
(h) Notwithstanding the expiration date of a license issued |
|
|
under this chapter, if the board tables the license holder's |
|
|
application for renewal or otherwise does not take action to |
|
|
approve or deny the application, the applicant's current license |
|
|
continues in effect until the next meeting of the board. |
|
|
SECTION 3. Section 1704.162(h), Occupations Code, as added |
|

|
|

|
|
the law in effect at the time the application was filed, and the |
|
|
former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
|
|
|
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
