Senate Bill 30, the Senator Royce West Act, amends the Local Government Code and Property Code to establish a process for the removal of a discriminatory provision from a recorded conveyance instrument. Among other provisions, the bill authorizes certain affected property owners to file a motion requesting removal of the discriminatory provision with the clerk of an applicable court. The court will rule on whether the conveyance instrument contains a discriminatory provision to be removed and may do so solely based on a review of the conveyance instrument and without hearing any testimonial evidence. The bill provides for the court's finding of fact and conclusion of law to be filed in the county's real property records.
