AN ACT
 1-1     relating to municipal participation in contracted developer cost.
 1-2           BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
 1-3           SECTION 1.  Subsection (b), Section 212.072, Local Government
 1-4     Code, is amended to read as follows:
 1-5           (b)  The contract must establish the limit of participation
 1-6     by the municipality at a level not to exceed 30 percent of the
 1-7     total contract price.  In addition, the contract may also allow
 1-8     participation by the municipality at a level not to exceed 100
 1-9     percent of the total cost for any oversizing of improvements
1-10     required by the municipality, including but not limited to
1-11     increased capacity of improvements to anticipate other future
1-12     development in the area.  The municipality is liable only for the
1-13     agreed payment of its share, which shall be determined in advance
1-14     either as a lump sum or as a factor or percentage of the total
1-15     actual cost as determined by municipal ordinance.
1-16           SECTION 2.  The importance of this legislation and the
1-17     crowded condition of the calendars in both houses create an
1-18     emergency and an imperative public necessity that the
1-19     constitutional rule requiring bills to be read on three several
1-20     days in each house be suspended, and this rule is hereby suspended.
