COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR S.B. No. 1434 By: Lucio
A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to compensation of county auditors and assistant auditors
in certain counties.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 152.905, Local Government Code, is
amended by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
(e) This subsection applies only to a county auditor or
assistant auditor appointed to serve a county located on an
international border that has a population of less than 300,000 and
contains one or more municipalities with a population of 200,000 or
more. In setting the compensation for a county auditor or assistant
auditor considered at a hearing under this section, the district
judge or judges may not set the amount of compensation in an amount
that is inconsistent with a wage and position classification plan
adopted by the county.
SECTION 2. For a county auditor or assistant auditor
appointed before the effective date of this Act whose compensation
does not conform to the person's position classification as
provided by a wage and position classification plan adopted by the
county that the person serves, the district judge or judges, in
subsequent hearings setting the person's annual compensation,
shall, without reducing the person's annual compensation, align the
person's compensation with the wage and position classification
plan adopted by the county.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
