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 Committee on Appropriations and the House Committee on
Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Finance and the Senate Committee on
Revenue and Fiscal Affairs in a form and manner prescribed jointly by the committees.
Requires submission of such information by Nov. 1, but provides that requests submitted
after Nov. 1 may be 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. Present
Joint Rule provides that the provisions of the present Joint Rule become effective July 1,
2008.
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.
Further removes reference in the present Joint Rule to the effective date of July 1, 2008.
