By: Eltife S.R. No. 1097
SENATE RESOLUTION
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 No. 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.
