R E S O L U T I O N
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 81st
Legislature, Regular Session, 2009, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on Senate
Bill 726 (the creation of the Harrison County and Prairielands
Groundwater Conservation Districts, providing authority to impose
a tax and issue bonds and granting a limited power of eminent
domain) to consider and take action on the following matter:
Senate Rule 12.03(2) is suspended to permit the committee to
omit text not in disagreement in proposed Section 8850.005, Special
District Local Laws Code, in both versions of the bill, that reads
as follows:
Sec. 8850.005. DISTRICT TERRITORY REQUIREMENTS;
DISSOLUTION OF DISTRICT. (a) On September 1, 2013, the district
boundaries must include at least one county adjacent to Harrison
County.
(b) As soon as practicable after September 1, 2013, the
Texas Commission on Environmental Quality shall determine whether
the district complies with Subsection (a).
(c) If the commission determines that the district does not
comply with Subsection (a), the commission shall dissolve the
district in accordance with Sections 36.304, 36.305, 36.307,
36.308, 36.309, and 36.310, Water Code, regardless of whether the
district meets the criteria for dissolution under Section
36.304(a), Water Code.
(d) This section expires September 1, 2015.
Explanation: The omission is necessary because this
provision is not essential to the creation, duties, or powers of the
district.
