House Bill 2975 amends the Local Government Code to establish that a county housing authority is merged into a municipal housing authority if the commissioners court of the county and the governing body of the municipality declare by resolutions that there is a need for the county housing authority to consolidate its powers with the municipal housing authority. The bill authorizes the county commissioners court and the governing body of the municipality to adopt such a resolution only if each entity finds that a merged housing authority would be more efficient or economical than separate housing authorities. These provisions apply only to the merger of housing authorities operating in a county with a population of 800,000 or more that is located on the international border and a municipality with a population of more than 600,000 and less than 700,000 that is located in such a county.
House Bill 2975 sets out provisions governing the merging of such housing authorities and describes the area of operation of a merged housing authority.
