                                A BILL TO BE ENTITLED

 1-1                                   AN ACT

 1-2     relating to the assessment of fees for services provided by certain

 1-3     property owners' associations.

 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 204.010, Property Code, is amended by

 1-6     adding Subsection (c) to read as follows:

 1-7           (c)  The authority granted under Subsection (a)(9) does not

 1-8     permit a property owners' association to provide an additional

 1-9     service and impose payments, fees, or charges for the additional

1-10     service without obtaining the approval of the property owners as

1-11     provided by this chapter.

1-12           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the

1-13     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an

1-14     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the

1-15     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several

1-16     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,

1-17     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its

1-18     passage, and it is so enacted.
