| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION1. Chapter 89, Local Government Code, is amended by | ||

| Sec. 89.007. TERMS OF APPOINTED MEMBERS OF BOARDS AND | ||
| COMMISSIONS IN CERTAIN COUNTIES. (a) This section applies only to a | ||
| county that: | ||

| appointed to a board or commission by the commissioners court of a | ||
| county shall serve no more than 12 consecutive years on the board or | ||
| commission to which they are appointed. If the expiration of 12 | ||
| years of service of a person's term occurs during an unexpired term, | ||
| that person shall have the right to serve until the end of that | ||
| unexpired term. A person that has termed-out of service on a board | ||
| or commission shall only have the right to reapply and serve on the | ||
| termed-out board or commission after the passage of one full term of | ||
| that particular board or commission. | ||
| SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act does not | ||
| affect the entitlement of a member serving on a board or commission | ||
| immediately before the effective date of this Act to continue to | ||
