BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 77th Legislature, state law provided that no city,
municipality, county, state, or federal employee was prohibited from
serving on a county civil service commission.  Also, under previous law,
members of the county civil service commission were appointed by the
commissioners court.  In Dallas County, members of the commissioners court
have been appointed to the Dallas County Civil Service Commission.   House
Bill 1091 provides that a member of the commissioners court of a county
with a population of 1.8 million or more is not prohibited from being
appointed to the county civil service commission.  

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. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 1091 amends the Local Government Code to provide that a member
of the commissioners court of a county with a population of 1.8 million or
more is not prohibited from being appointed to the county civil service
commission.   

EFFECTIVE DATE
