Bill Caption

Relating to procedures for the dissolution of a county hospital authority.

Fiscal Notes

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

Bill Analysis

HB 594, if enacted, would amend current Health and Safety Code by adding a subsection that would provide county commissioners the option of dissolving a county hospital authority provided the commissioners court created the authority and the authority’s assets and liabilities were transferred to the county.

Vote Recommendation Notes

The authority to make clarifications on the transfer of assets between certain political subdivisions is clearly within the legitimate responsibility of the government, the provisions of this bill have no relationship to our liberty principles. HB 594 neither uplifts nor offends our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
