A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the selection of the board of directors of an appraisal
district.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 6.03(d), Tax Code, is amended to read as
follows:
(d) The voting entitlement of a taxing unit that is entitled
to vote for directors is determined by dividing the total appraised
value of property in [dollar amount of property taxes imposed in the
district by] the taxing unit for the preceding tax year by the sum
of the total appraised value of property [dollar amount of property
taxes imposed] in the district for that year [by each taxing unit
that is entitled to vote], by multiplying the quotient by 1,000, and
by rounding the product to the nearest whole number. That number is
multiplied by the number of directorships to be filled. A taxing
unit participating in two or more districts is entitled to vote in
each district in which it participates, but only the taxing unit's
appraised value determined for the taxing unit by [taxes imposed
in] a district is [are] used to calculate the unit's voting
entitlement in that district.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to the selection of appraisal district directors for terms
beginning on or after January 1, 2006. The change in law made by
this Act does not affect the selection of appraisal district
directors for terms beginning before that date.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
