Senate Bill 350 |
Senate Author: Ellis |
|
Effective: 9-1-07 |
House Sponsor: Noriega, Rick |
Previous law relating to the abatement of certain nuisances involving junked vehicles excluded a vehicle that has attached to it either an unexpired license plate or a valid motor vehicle inspection certificate from the definition of a junked vehicle. Senate Bill 350 amends the Transportation Code to specify that a vehicle must have both to be excluded from that definition.
Previous law also required a public hearing before removal of a junked vehicle that has been determined to be a public nuisance. Senate Bill 350 revises this provision to require a public hearing only on request of a person who has received notice that the nuisance must be abated and removed if the request is made not later than the date by which the nuisance must be abated and removed.
