relating to the composition of certain regional transportation | ||
authority subregional boards. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 452.574, Transportation Code, is amended | ||
by adding Subsection (d) to read as follows: | ||
(d) The principal municipality shall make its appointments | ||
to the board so that at least one of the appointees is selected from | ||
three candidates chosen by the recognized union that represents the | ||
employees of the authority. | ||
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act in the | ||
qualifications of certain regional transportation authority | ||
subregional board members does not affect the entitlement of a | ||
member serving on a board immediately before the effective date of | ||
this Act to continue to carry out the functions of the authority for | ||
the remainder of the member's term. The change in law applies only | ||
to a member appointed on or after the effective date of this Act. | ||
This Act does not prohibit a person who is a regional transportation | ||
authority subregional board member on the effective date of this | ||
Act from being reappointed to the board if the person has the | ||
qualifications required under Section 452.574, Transportation | ||
Code, as amended by this Act. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives | ||
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as | ||
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this | ||
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this | ||
Act takes effect September 1, 2013. |
