Texas, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, That House Rule 13,
Section 9(a), be suspended in part as provided by House Rule 13,

resolve the differences on House Bill 1112 (authority and powers of
regional mobility authorities) to consider and take action on the
following matter:
House Rule 13, Section 9(a)(4), is suspended to permit the
committee to add text on a matter which is not included in either

section to the bill:
SECTION 16. Subchapter H, Chapter 370, Transportation Code,
is amended by adding Section 370.333 to read as follows:
Sec. 370.333. VOLUNTARY DISSOLUTION OF AUTHORITY GOVERNED
BY GOVERNING BODY OF MUNICIPALITY. In addition to the requirements
of Section 370.331, an authority governed under Section 370.2511
may not be dissolved unless:
(1) the dissolution is approved by a vote of at least
two-thirds of the members of the governing body;
(2) all debts, obligations, and liabilities of the
authority have been paid and discharged or adequate provision has
been made for the payment of all debts, obligations, and
liabilities;
(3) there are no suits pending against the authority,
or adequate provision has been made for the satisfaction of any
judgment, order, or decree that may be entered against it in any
pending suit; and
(4) the authority has commitments from other
governmental entities to assume jurisdiction of all authority
transportation facilities.
Explanation: This change is necessary to enact additional
requirements for the voluntary dissolution of a regional mobility
authority governed by the governing body of a municipality.
