Bill Analysis

SB 1239 would explicitly authorize the governing body of the city that appointed a director to the North Texas Municipal Water District to remove such a director at any time without cause.

Vote Recommendation Notes

While this is likely sound public policy, this bill neither affirms nor abridges our liberty principles. We remain neutral.
