HBA-CBW S.B. 1014 77(R) BILL ANALYSIS Office of House Bill AnalysisS.B. 1014 By: Ogden Higher Education 4/22/2001 Engrossed 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.
