SENATE BILL 569 |
SENATE AUTHOR: Cain et al. |

EFFECTIVE: 9-1-01 |
HOUSE SPONSOR: G. Lewis |
Senate Bill 569 amends provisions of the Transportation Code relating to the use of certain revenue and the rights and responsibilities of municipalities that have territory within the boundaries of certain airports. The bill defines "nonconstituent municipality" to mean a municipality that has territory within the boundaries of an airport that is governed by a joint board for which the constituent agencies are populous home-rule municipalities. It requires that a joint board include in its membership a nonvoting member of a nonconstituent municipality, and requires a nonconstituent municipality to pay to the constituent agencies each year a prescribed amount of excess airport revenue, which is generated from ad valorem and sales and use taxes and other taxes and fees.
Senate Bill 569 prohibits a person from developing a retail establishment in an area of a nonconstituent municipality that is separated from the airport passenger terminal buildings by a controlled access highway without the consent of the joint board and the nonconstituent municipality; this section expires August 31, 2021.
