HOUSE BILL 79 |
HOUSE AUTHOR: Gallego et al. |

SENATE SPONSOR: Cain |
House Bill 79 amends the Tax Code to modify provisions relating to eligibility to serve on an appraisal review board (ARB). In counties with a population greater than 100,000, former board members, officers, and employees of an appraisal district may not serve on the ARB, and former officers or board members of a taxing unit for which the appraisal district appraises property may not serve on an ARB until four years after they leave the positions. For the same counties, former taxing unit employees generally are no longer ineligible, but the act prohibits service by anyone who has ever appeared before the ARB for compensation or anyone who has served on the ARB for all or part of three previous terms.
In other counties, the act prohibits anyone from serving all or a portion of four consecutive terms.
