SB 1733 Texas Senate · 89th Legislature (2025)

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

SB 1733 reduces the Calhoun Port Authority board from seven to six commissioners. It changes the election structure so one commissioner is elected at-large by all voters, while six are elected from specific geographic precincts within the authority. The bill also adds requirements that commissioners must be residents of their precinct or the entire authority and own property there. This law took effect immediately after the governor signed it on June 20, 2025.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version signed into law. The substantive policy content regarding the Calhoun Port Authority board composition and election rules remains unchanged, though the formatting was standardized with proper section numbering and spacing.
TECHNICAL

The bill header was updated from 'Engrossed' to 'Enrolled' version, indicating it has passed both legislative chambers and is ready for the governor's signature.

Line numbers and spacing were removed and replaced with proper section headers (SECTION 1, SECTION 2, etc.) and consistent formatting throughout the document.

Placeholder text like 'AA' and bracketed numbers were cleaned up, and the final certification pages with dates and signatures were added.
