Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

In 1993, the guardianship and probate provisions of the Probate Code were
separated.    Provisions relating to guardianships were added in newly
created sections in the code, but provisions containing the same language
were left in Part 10 (Section 389).  H.B. 1662 repeals Part 10, thereby
eliminating the duplication. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS

SECTION 1.  Repealer: Part 10 (Investments, Loans, and Contributions of
Estates of Wards), Chapter VIII, Probate Code. 

SECTION 2.  Emergency clause.
  Effective date: upon passage.
