Relating to the composition of the board of the Calhoun Port Authority.

HB 3243 amends Texas law to change the governance structure of the Calhoun Port Authority board. It reduces the board size from seven to six commissioners and establishes a system where one commissioner is elected at-large (representing all of Calhoun County) and one commissioner is elected from each of six designated precincts within the port authority district. To serve, commissioners must be residents of their precinct or Calhoun County (for at-large) and property owners in the area. The bill sets the first election under these new rules for May 2027, with the governor appointing an interim at-large commissioner until that election. This is a procedural change affecting how the port authority’s board is composed and elected.
