BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Under current law, no city, municipality, county, state, or federal
employee is prohibited from serving on a county civil service commission.
Also under current law, members of the county civil service commission are
appointed by the commissioners court.  In Dallas County, members of the
commissioners court have been appointed to the Dallas County Civil Service
Commission.   C.S.H.B. 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

C.S.H.B. 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

On passage, or if the Act does not receive the necessary vote, the Act
takes effect September 1, 2001. 

COMPARISON OF ORIGINAL TO SUBSTITUTE

C.S.H.B. 1091 differs from the original by specifying that only a member of
a commissioners court of a county with a population of 1.8 million or more
is not prohibited from being appointed to the civil service commission.
