    1-6        SECTION 1.  Subchapter C, Chapter 2301, Government Code, is
    1-7  amended by adding Section 2301.0635 to read as follows:
    1-8        Sec. 2301.0635.  NOTICE OF CERTAIN LEASES TO TAX APPRAISAL
    1-9  OFFICE.  (a)  A public entity or state agency that owns real
   1-10  property or a facility acquired under this chapter shall notify the
   1-11  tax appraisal office for the county in which the property is
   1-12  located of any possessory interest in the property, including a
   1-13  leasehold, that on January 1 is held by another person.
   1-14        (b)  Notice under this section is given by delivering to the
   1-15  tax appraisal office, not later than May 1, a copy of each
   1-16  instrument evidencing the conveyance of a possessory interest in
   1-17  the property.
   1-18        (c)  If after receipt of notice under Subsection (b) the
   1-19  chief appraiser of the tax appraisal office determines that
   1-20  additional information relating to the conveyance of the possessory
   1-21  interest is necessary for the appraisal of that interest for ad
   1-22  valorem tax purposes, the chief appraiser may request the public
   1-23  entity or state agency to provide the additional information.  If
   1-24  the chief appraiser requests additional information under this
    2-1  subsection, the public entity or state agency shall deliver the
    2-2  requested information to the tax appraisal office, or notify the
    2-3  chief tax appraisal office that it does not possess the requested
    2-4  information, before the 30th day after the date of the request.
    2-5        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
    2-6  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
    2-7  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
    2-8  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
    2-9  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
