    1-8                         A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
    1-9                                AN ACT
   1-10  relating to the disapproval of a subdivision by a municipality.
   1-11        BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
   1-12        SECTION 1.  Subsection (a), Section 212.009, Local Government
   1-13  Code, is amended to read as follows:
   1-14        (a)  The municipal authority responsible for approving plats
   1-15  shall act on a plat within 60 <30> days after the date the plat is
   1-16  filed.  A plat is considered approved by the municipal authority
   1-17  unless it is disapproved within that period under the provisions of
   1-18  Section 212.005 and a complete list of unmet regulations is
   1-19  provided to the applicant as soon as practicable.
   1-20        SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
   1-21  to a plat for a subdivision filed with a municipality on or after
   1-22  the effective date of this Act.  A plat filed with a municipality
   1-23  before the effective date of this Act is governed by the law in
   1-24  effect when the plat was filed, and the former law is continued in
   1-25  effect for that purpose.
   1-26        SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 1995.
   1-27        SECTION 4.  The importance of this legislation and the
   1-28  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   1-29  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   1-30  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   1-31  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
