                                 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
                                        AN ACT
    1-1  relating to the extraterritorial jurisdiction of certain
    1-2  municipalities.
    1-3        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
    1-4        SECTION 1.  Subchapter Z, Chapter 42, Local Government Code,
    1-5  is amended by adding Section 42.904 to read as follows:
    1-6        Sec. 42.904.  EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN LAND FROM EXTRATERRITORIAL
    1-7  JURISDICTION OF MUNICIPALITY WITH POPULATION OF MORE THAN 1.5
    1-8  MILLION.  (a)  The extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality
    1-9  with a population of more than 1.5 million does not include any
   1-10  land that would not have been included in the municipality's
   1-11  extraterritorial jurisdiction but for the past or future annexation
   1-12  of a municipally owned airport, water reservoir, or lake, including
   1-13  adjacent lands, connected to the municipality by one or more
   1-14  annexed strips of land that are less than 500 feet in width and
   1-15  that include all or part of a roadway, canal, or other waterway.
   1-16        (b)  The municipality's boundaries surrounding the airport,
   1-17  water reservoir, or lake, including adjacent lands, along with the
   1-18  boundaries of any strip less than 500 feet in width connecting the
   1-19  same to the municipality, may not be taken into consideration in
   1-20  determining the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction, and
   1-21  the extraterritorial shall be determined as if the airport, water
   1-22  reservoir, lake, adjacent lands, and strips less than 500 feet in
   1-23  width had not been annexed.
    2-1        SECTION 2.  (a)  This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
    2-2        (b)  If, immediately before the effective date of this Act,
    2-3  the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality includes land
    2-4  described by Section 42.904, Local Government Code, as added by
    2-5  this Act, the boundaries of the extraterritorial jurisdiction are
    2-6  revised on the effective date of this Act to exclude that land.
    2-7        SECTION 3.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-8  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-9  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   2-10  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   2-11  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
