A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to the annexation of a municipally owned airport.
       BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
       SECTION 1.  Subchapter E, Chapter 43, Local Government Code,
is amended by adding to Section 43.102 a new Subsection (f) to read
as follows:
       (f)  A home rule municipality with a population between 9,000
and 9,100 may annex a noncontiguous airport owned by such
municipality, and other areas in the proximity of such airport,
provided such annexation is otherwise in compliance with the
requirements of this section.  If the area proposed for annexation
lies within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of another
municipality, such municipality may give its consent to the
reduction in its extraterritorial jurisdiction in the manner
provided in Section 42.023, provided, however, that if such
reduction would cause an area to be surrounded by territory within
the jurisdiction of the consenting municipality, whether such
jurisdiction is full-purpose, limited-purpose, or
extraterritorial, then the governing body of the consenting
municipality must find that surrounding the area is in the public
interest.
       SECTION 2.  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, 2007
