 1-1                                   AN ACT
 1-2     relating to the eligibility for appointment to the appraisal review
 1-3     board of certain appraisal districts.
 1-4           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-5           SECTION 1.  Section 6.41(c), Tax Code, is amended to read as
 1-6     follows:
 1-7           (c)  To be eligible to serve on the board, an individual must
 1-8     be a resident of the district and must have resided in the district
 1-9     for at least two years.  In an appraisal district established for a
1-10     county having a population of more than 125,000, a [A] member of
1-11     the appraisal district board of directors or an officer or employee
1-12     of the comptroller, the appraisal office, or a taxing unit is
1-13     ineligible to serve on the board.  In an appraisal district
1-14     established for a county having a population of more than 300,000,
1-15     an individual who has served for all or part of three previous
1-16     terms as a board member or auxiliary board member on the appraisal
1-17     review board, is a former member of the governing body or an
1-18     officer or employee of a taxing unit, or is a former director,
1-19     officer, or employee of the appraisal district is ineligible to
1-20     serve on the appraisal review board.  In an appraisal district
1-21     established for any other county, an individual who has served for
1-22     all or part of three consecutive terms as a board member or
1-23     auxiliary board member on the appraisal review board is ineligible
1-24     to serve on the appraisal review board during a term that begins on
 2-1     the next January 1 following the third of those consecutive terms.
 2-2           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
 2-3     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
 2-4     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
 2-5     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
 2-6     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended,
 2-7     and that this Act take effect and be in force from and after its
 2-8     passage, and it is so enacted.
