IN RE: | HB2183 by Bohac (Relating to the election date of proposed charter amendments in a home-rule municipality.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to require that the election for a proposed charter amendment for a home-rule city be held on the first authorized uniform election date. The bill would take effect September 1, 2003.
Under current statute, an option is also available for holding the election for a proposed charter amendment on the first authorized uniform election date or the earlier of the date of the next municipal general election or presidential general election. Removing the option would have no fiscal impact.
