| | | | | | | | Summary:
ORDINANCE AMENDING SECTION 16-9 OF THE CODE OF ORDINANCES to rename the Local Truancy Prevention and Diversion Fund |
| | | | | | | | Background:
The Texas Legislature passed HB 3186 in the 88th regular legislative session, which takes partial effect on January 1, 2024, and amends Texas Local Government Code Section 143.156 to change the name of the “local truancy prevention and diversion fund” to the “local youth diversion fund.”
The Municipal Courts Department recommends that the City amend Section 16-9 of the Code of Ordinances to change the name of its "local truancy prevention and diversion fund" to the "local youth diversion fund" in order to be consistent with state law.
