TO: | Honorable Tom Craddick, Speaker of the House, House of Representatives |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB536 by Truitt (Relating to the consent required for a municipality to annex a water or sewer district.), As Passed 2nd House |
The bill would, under certain circumstances, remove the requirement for one municipality to obtain written consent of any other applicable municipality when annexing an area in a water or sewer district that is wholly or partly in the overlapping extraterritorial jurisdiction of two or more municipalities. Removing requirements could result in a reduction in expenses related to the annexation process.
The provisions of the bill would apply only to the annexation of an area for which all parts of the statutory annexation process are begun on or after the effective date of the bill, which would be September 1, 2007.
