|
|
|
AN ACT
|
| |
|
|
relating to the disposition of surplus real property no longer |
|
|
needed for state highway purposes. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Sections 202.021(d) and (h), Transportation |
|
|
Code, are amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(d) The commission shall: |
|
|
(1) determine the fair value of the state's interest in |
|
|
the real property; and |
|
|
(2) if the value is $100,000 [$10,000] or more, advise |
|
|
the governor of the value. |
|
|
(h) If the commission determines that the value of the real |
|
|
property is less than $100,000 [$10,000], it may authorize the |
|
|
executive director to execute a deed conveying the state's interest |
|
|
in the property without a recommendation to the governor. |
|
|
SECTION 2. Section 202.030(a), Transportation Code, is |
|
|
amended to read as follows: |
|
|
(a) The attorney general must approve a transfer or |
|
|
conveyance that is made under this subchapter if the value of the |
|
|
real property transferred or conveyed is $100,000 [$10,000] or |
|
|
more. |
|
|
SECTION 3. The change in law made by this Act applies only |
|
|
to an interest in real property that is recommended to the governor |
|
|
for sale or transfer on or after the effective date of this Act. An |
|
|
interest recommended to the governor for sale or transfer before |
|
|
the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect |
|
|
immediately before the effective date of this Act, and that law is |
|
|
continued in effect for that purpose. |
|
|
SECTION 4. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2023. |
