TO: | Honorable Robert Talton, Chair, House Committee on Urban Affairs |
FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB1895 by Ellis, Rodney (Relating to the duration of a lease for municipal civic center property. ), Committee Report 2nd House, As Amended |
The bill would address the duration of a lease for municipal civic center property in a municipality with a population of 1 million or more. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2003.
Under current statute, the size of municipality to which the term of certain leases applies is one with a population of 1.5 million or more, and therefore applied only to the City of Houston. By lowering the population limit, the statute would also apply to the cities of Dallas and San Antonio.
