A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to compensation of county auditors and assistant auditors |
|
|
in certain counties. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 152.905, Local Government Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows: |
|
|
(e) This subsection applies only to a county auditor or |
|
|
assistant auditor appointed to serve a county located on an |
|
|
international border that has a population of less than 300,000 and |
|
|
contains one or more municipalities with a population of 200,000 or |
|
|
more. In setting the compensation for a county auditor or assistant |
|
|
auditor considered at a hearing under this section, the district |
|
|
judge or judges may not set the amount of compensation in an amount |
|
|
that is inconsistent with a wage and position classification plan |
|
|
adopted by the county. |
|
|
SECTION 2. For a county auditor or assistant auditor |
|
|
appointed before the effective date of this Act whose compensation |
|
|
does not conform to the person's position classification as |
|
|
provided by a wage and position classification plan adopted by the |
|
|
county that the person serves, the district judge or judges, in |
|
|
subsequent hearings setting the person's annual compensation, |
|
|
shall, without reducing the person's annual compensation, align the |
|
|
person's compensation with the wage and position classification |
|
|
plan adopted by the county. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
