AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

With the passage of H.B. 2641 by the 86th Legislature, the reversionary interest by State of Texas was authorized on a property in Big Spring, Texas, for the benefit of West Texas Centers (West Texas Centers for Mental Health and Mental Retardation). Since the bill's passage it has been determined that this property site was not adequate.

A new property has been located and this bill, H.B. 3800, is necessary to complete the exchange between West Texas Centers and Cap Rock Holdings, LLC.

H.B. 3800 amends current law relating to the release of a reversionary interest in certain real property by the Health and Human Services Commission and conditions related to that release.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.
