Enrolled Bill Summary

House Bill 1869 amends the Education Code to expand junior college districts' annexation authority, allowing districts to annex territory in their service areas, regardless of whether the territory to be annexed is contiguous to a district's taxing jurisdiction boundaries or, if not contiguous, meets other proximity or location requirements. The act provides an exception to this authority by prohibiting annexation of territory that is located in the same county as any part of the junior college district and a Texas State Technical College System campus is located within the county and outside the junior college district.
