BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Rockdale Independent School District (ISD) is located within the Blinn
College District service area. However,  Rockdale ISD  is much closer to
the Temple Junior College campuses in Cameron and Taylor. Senate Bill 1014
transfers Rockdale ISD from the Blinn College District service area to the
Temple Junior College District service area.   

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

Senate Bill 1014 amends the Education Code to remove the Rockdale
Independent School District  (ISD) from the Blinn College District service
area.  The bill adds Rockdale ISD to the Temple Junior College District
service area.  The bill provides that during the 2001-2002 academic year
the Blinn College District is authorized to treat the area removed from the
Blinn College District service area as if the area were still in its
service area, as necessary, to avoid an unreasonable interruption of junior
college services in the area. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

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