1-21 A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
1-22 AN ACT
1-23 relating to the extraterritorial jurisdiction of certain
1-24 municipalities.
1-25 BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
1-26 SECTION 1. Subchapter Z, Chapter 42, Local Government Code,
1-27 is amended by adding Section 42.904 to read as follows:
1-28 Sec. 42.904. EXCLUSION OF CERTAIN LAND FROM EXTRATERRITORIAL
1-29 JURISDICTION OF MUNICIPALITY WITH POPULATION OF MORE THAN 1.5
1-30 MILLION. (a) The extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality
1-31 with a population of more than 1.5 million does not include any
1-32 land that would not have been included in the municipality's
1-33 extraterritorial jurisdiction but for the past or future annexation
1-34 of a municipally owned airport, water reservoir, or lake, including
1-35 adjacent lands, connected to the municipality by one or more
1-36 annexed strips of land that are less than 500 feet in width and
1-37 that include all or part of a roadway, canal, or other waterway.
1-38 (b) The municipality's boundaries surrounding the airport,
1-39 water reservoir, or lake, including adjacent lands, along with the
1-40 boundaries of any strip of land less than 500 feet in width
1-41 connecting the same to the municipality, may not be taken into
1-42 consideration in determining the municipality's extraterritorial
1-43 jurisdiction, and the extraterritorial jurisdiction shall be
1-44 determined as if the airport, water reservoir, lake, adjacent
1-45 lands, and strips of land less than 500 feet in width had not been
1-46 annexed.
1-47 SECTION 2. (a) This Act takes effect September 1, 1993.
1-48 (b) If immediately before the effective date of this Act the
1-49 extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality includes land
1-50 described by Section 42.904, Local Government Code, as added by
1-51 this Act, the boundaries of the extraterritorial jurisdiction are
1-52 revised on the effective date of this Act to exclude that land.
1-53 SECTION 3. The importance of this legislation and the
1-54 crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-55 emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-56 constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-57 days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
