Honorable Garnet Coleman, Chair, House Committee on County Affairs
FROM:
Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB2788 by White (Relating to the appointment of emergency services commissioners in certain districts located in more than one county.), As Introduced
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code and the Health and Safety Code to modify the composition and eligibility of certain emergency services commissions that serve multiple counties. Exempts certain counties from certain election requirements of emergency service commissions that serve multiple counties. Validates, ratifies, and confirms the acts and proceedings of certain emergency services districts.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house. If the bill does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect it takes effect September 1, 2017.
Local Government Impact
Because the bill would not have statewide impact on units of local government of the same type or class, no comment from this office is required by the rules of the House/Senate as to its probable fiscal implication on units of local government.
