House Bill 1643 |
House Author: Zerwas |

Effective: 6-17-11 |
Senate Sponsor: Hegar |
Previous law placed a 15-year limit on the period for which a contract, or an extension or renewal of that contract, between the governing body of a municipality with a population of less than 1.9 million and an owner of land that is located in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of such a municipality may guarantee the continuation of the extraterritorial status of the land and its immunity from annexation by the municipality. House Bill 1643 amends the Local Government Code to remove both 15-year contract limitations without changing the 45-year limitation on the total duration of such a guarantee.
