Senate Bill 63 |
Senate Author: Zaffirini |
|
Effective: 6-15-07 |
House Sponsor: Escobar et al. |
Previous law granted certain powers of a municipal governing body to the commissioners court of a county with a population of more than 7,500 that is located on an international border, and that contains no incorporated territory. Senate Bill 63 amends the Local Government Code to require that the county have a minimum population of more than 5,000, rather than 7,500, and to require that the county be located within 100 miles of, rather than on, an international border. The bill also sets out provisions authorizing zoning around Falcon Lake in Zapata County to promote certain public purposes and encourage recreational use.
