Current law provides that the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Brownsville terminates two miles from the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a neighboring municipality under certain conditions. Senate Bill 468 amends the Local Government Code to provide that extraterritorial jurisdiction for the City of Brownsville is determined under statutory provisions relating to the extent of extraterritorial jurisdiction generally if that municipality's governing body and the governing body of the neighboring municipality each adopt resolutions stating that the determination of extraterritorial jurisdiction under the provision establishing the two mile limit is not in the municipality's best interest.
