Fannin HCR No. 121
Abstract: Provides that voluntary councils on aging, public community water systems, and
volunteer fire departments are not "nongovernmental entities" and are exempt from
the nongovernmental entity funding request form requirements.
Present Joint Rule requires any nongovernmental entity which is neither a budget unit nor
a political subdivision of the state that is requesting funding from the state through the
capital outlay bill or any appropriation bill to transmit certain information relative to such
proposed funding to the House Appropriations Committee and Ways and Means Committee
and the Senate Finance Committee and Revenue and Fiscal Affairs Committee in a form and
manner prescribed jointly by the committees. Requires submission of such information by
Nov. 1st, but provides that requests submitted after November first maybe included if the
late submission is approved by the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget or the Joint
Legislative Committee on Capital Outlay prior to the last day for introduction of a matter
intended to have the effect of law. After the bill introduction deadline, authorization for late
submission shall be as provided by each house of the legislature by rule. Requires a
completed "Nongovernmental Entity Funding Request Form" to be submitted for each such
entity for which funding is provided in accordance with the rules of the respective house and
provides for the minimum requirements for the information to be included on the form.
Present Joint Rule specifically excludes from these requirements appropriations for the
payment of money judgments against the state.
Proposed Joint Rule provides that the term "nongovernmental entity" shall not include
voluntary councils on aging, public community water systems, and volunteer fire
departments and that voluntary councils on aging, public community water systems, and
volunteer fire departments shall be exempt from the requirements of present Joint Rule.
