Section 404.0011 - Transfer of Treasurer's Powers and Duties(a) The powers and duties of the state treasurer under this chapter or other law are transferred to the comptroller.(b) A reference in law to the state treasurer is a reference to the comptroller.(c) If the state treasurer and the comptroller or their respective designees are both ex officio members of a committee or governing body under law, the transfer of the powers and duties under this section does not give the comptroller more than one vote or position on the committee or governing body. If the state treasurer and the comptroller both have the power to appoint members to a committee under law, the transfer of the powers and duties under this section does not allow the comptroller to exercise the power of appointment given to the treasurer under law in addition to the power of appointment given to the comptroller under law. If the state treasurer and the comptroller both have the power to appoint members to a governing body under law, the comptroller may exercise the power of appointment given to the treasurer under law in addition to the power of appointment given to the comptroller under law only if the members of the governing body serve six-year terms and the composition of the governing body is subject to Section 30a, Article XVI, Texas Constitution.(d) The comptroller may contract with a private entity to perform an activity transferred under this section as long as the activity is not solely a sovereign function of the state.Tex.
