Summary

Senate Bill 2367 would authorize a board of park commissioners in Waller County (subject to commissioners court approval), empowering the board to adopt rules governing park use and to impose civil penalties for violations; sponsor described it as refile of a House bill intended to stop misuse of public facilities.

Senator Kolkhorst’s refiled measure, Senate Bill 2367, would extend authority — previously available in other counties — to establish a board of park commissioners in Waller County, subject to approval by the county commissioners court. The board would be able to adopt reasonable rules concerning park use and to impose civil penalties for violations, the sponsor said.

Senator Paxton and other senators had no substantive questions. No witnesses offered testimony at the hearing, and the committee closed public testimony and left the bill pending subject to call of the chair.
