By: Staples S.R. No. 1035
SENATE RESOLUTION
BE IT RESOLVED by the Senate of the State of Texas, 78th
Legislature, Regular Session, 2003, That Senate Rule 12.03 be
suspended in part as provided by Senate Rule 12.08 to enable the
conference committee appointed to resolve the differences on
House Bill No. 2044, relating to the powers and duties of the
General Land Office and the accounting and disposition of
state-owned real property, to consider and take action on the
following matter:
Senate Rule 12.03(1) is suspended to permit the committee
to amend text that is not in disagreement in SECTION 16 of the
bill, in Section 31.1572, Natural Resources Code, as added by the
bill, to read as follows:
Sec. 31.1572. REAL ESTATE TRANSACTIONS BY PARKS AND
WILDLIFE DEPARTMENT PROHIBITED IN CERTAIN AREAS. (a) The Parks
and Wildlife Department may not offer for sale real property it
owns or controls if the real property is located in a county:
(1) with a population of one million or more; and
(2) in which at least two municipalities with a
population of 300,000 or more are located.
(b) This section expires September 1, 2004.
Explanation: The changed text is necessary to narrow the
scope of the authority granted to the Parks and Wildlife
Department to dispose of state-owned real property.
