relating to the requirements for interlocal contracts. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Section 791.011(d), Government Code, is amended | ||
to read as follows: | ||
(d) An interlocal contract must: | ||
(1) be authorized by the governing body of each party | ||
to the contract unless a party to the contract is a municipally | ||
owned electric utility or a municipally owned water utility, in | ||
which event the governing body may establish procedures for | ||
entering into interlocal contracts that do not exceed $100,000 | ||
without requiring the approval of the governing body; | ||
(2) state the purpose, terms, rights, and duties of | ||
the contracting parties; and | ||
(3) specify that each party paying for the performance | ||
of governmental functions or services must make those payments from | ||
current revenues available to the paying party. | ||
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
an interlocal contract entered into on or after the effective date | ||
of this Act. An interlocal contract entered into before the | ||
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the | ||
date the contract was entered into, and the former law is continued | ||
in effect for that purpose. | ||
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
