AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to certain county bail bond boards. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 1704.055(c), Occupations Code, is |
|
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) A board in a county with a population of less than |
|
|
150,000 [50,000] shall meet: |
|
|
(1) at least four times each year during the months of |
|
|
January, April, July, and October at the call of the presiding |
|
|
officer; and |
|
|
(2) at other times at the call of the presiding |
|
|
officer. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 1704.162, Occupations Code, is amended |
|
|
by adding Subsection (h) to read as follows: |
|
|
(h) Notwithstanding the expiration date of a license issued |
|
|
under this chapter, if a board to which Section 1704.055(c) applies |
|
|
tables a license holder's application for renewal or otherwise does |
|
|
not take action to approve or deny the application, the applicant's |
|
|
current license continues in effect until the next meeting of the |
|
|
board. |
|
|
SECTION 3. Section 1704.162(h), Occupations Code, as added |
|
|
by this Act, applies only to an application for renewal of a license |
|
|
filed with a county bail bond board on or after the effective date |
|
|
of this Act. An application filed before that date is governed by |
|
|
the law in effect at the time the application was filed, and the |
|
|
former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect September 1, 2015. |
