House Bill 2228 |
House Author: Parker et al. |
|
Effective: 6-19-09 |
Senate Sponsor: Nelson |
Current law prohibits the board of directors of a fire control, prevention, and emergency medical services district from holding a referendum election on the dual question of continuation or dissolution of the district and continuation or abolishment of the district sales and use tax before the fifth anniversary of the date the district was created or before the third anniversary of the date of the last such referendum election. House Bill 2228 retains the three-year interval between referendum elections but amends the Local Government Code to reduce the time the board must wait to hold the referendum election after creation of the district from five years to four years from the date the district was created.
