House Bill 2138 |
House Author: Dutton |
|
Effective: Vetoed |
Senate Sponsor: Ellis |
House Bill 2138 amends Section 2, Chapter 358, Acts of the 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, to change the south boundary of the Near Northside Management District from Interstate 10 to Buffalo Bayou. The bill also amends the Special District Local Laws Code to set out provisions regarding territory in the district that overlaps another district's boundaries, to revise the composition of the district's governing body, and to extend the expiration date of provisions regarding the district's initial board of directors from September 1, 2015, to September 1, 2016.
Reason Given for Veto: "House Bill 2138 would expand the Near Northside Management District's territory in a manner that does not allow input from the citizens and property owners of the land to be annexed. I support the current method of a district annexing property subject to the approval of the local governing body and the safeguards that public input provides."
