TO: | Honorable Frank Madla, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Deputy Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | SB200 by Gallegos (Relating to county authority to regulate vehicular or pedestrian gates to gated communities.), As Introduced |
The bill would authorize counties to require the owner or owners association of a gated community, except a community located within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a municipality, to comply with statutory regulations of vehicular or pedestrian gates. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives the required two-thirds vote in both houses; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2005.
Under current statute, a county has authority over regulations of vehicular and pedestrian gates in applicable multi-unit housing projects only. The provisions of the bill would expand a county's authority regarding vehicular and pedestrian gates to include those that are part of a gated community.
