BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Prior to the 76th Legislature, state law only allowed cities with a
population greater than 150,000 to contract for the enforcement of warrants
and delinquent traffic violations.  H.B. 1100 eliminates this limitation
and extends the law to all home-rule municipalities.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution.
