House Bill 1982 amends the Local Government Code to clarify that a colonia that is annexed by a municipality remains eligible for five years after the date of annexation for the same types of assistance it would have received prior to annexation. This provision applies to a geographic area that either fits the definition of a "colonia" in accordance with certain provisions of the Government Code or that has the same physical and economic characteristics of a colonia, as determined by the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs.
