    1-7        Sec. 42.024.  RELEASE OF EXTRATERRITORIAL JURISDICTION BY
    1-8  CERTAIN MUNICIPALITIES.  (a)  In this section, "eligible property"
    1-9  means any portion of a contiguous tract of land:
   1-10              (1)  that is located in the extraterritorial
   1-11  jurisdiction of a municipality within one-half mile of the
   1-12  territory of a proposed municipal airport;

   1-15              (3)  that has not been acquired through the contract
   1-16  described by Subdivision (2) for the proposed municipal airport.
   1-17        (b)  The owner of eligible property may petition the
   1-18  municipality to release the property from the municipality's
   1-19  extraterritorial jurisdiction not later than June 1, 1996.  The
   1-20  petition must be filed with the secretary or clerk of the

   1-23  or clerk receives a petition under Subsection (b), the municipality
    2-1  by resolution shall release the eligible property from the
    2-2  extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality.
    2-3        (d)  Eligible property that is released from the
    2-4  extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality under Subsection
    2-5  (c) may be included in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of another
    2-6  municipality if:
    2-7              (1)  any part of the other municipality is located in
    2-8  the same county as the property; and
    2-9              (2)  the other municipality and the owner agree to the
   2-10  inclusion of the property in the extraterritorial jurisdiction.
   2-11        SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
   2-12  crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
   2-13  emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
   2-14  constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
   2-15  days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
   2-16  and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
   2-17  passage, and it is so enacted.
