1-16 COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR H.B. No. 570 By: Parker
1-17 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-18 AN ACT
1-19 relating to the determination of value in condemnation proceedings.
1-20 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-21 SECTION 1. Section 21.042, Property Code, is amended to read
1-22 as follows:
1-23 (b) If an entire tract or parcel of real property is
1-24 condemned, the damage to the property owner is the local market
1-25 value of the property determined:
1-26 (1) at the time of the special commissioners' hearing;
1-27 and
1-28 (2) as if the public use for which the property is
1-29 condemned had not been proposed and will not occur.
1-30 SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies to a
1-31 condemnation proceeding filed on or after the effective date of
1-32 this Act. A condemnation proceeding pending before the effective
1-33 date of this Act is covered by the law in effect when the suit was
1-34 filed, and the former law is continued in effect for this purpose.
1-35 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-36 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-37 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-38 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-39 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
1-40 and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
1-41 passage, and it is so enacted.
