TO: | Honorable Leo Berman, Chair, House Committee on Elections |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3723 by Elkins (Relating to the voting rights of residents in an area annexed for limited purposes under a strategic partnership agreement.), As Introduced |
Under Section 43.0751(q), Local Government Code, Subchapter F (limited purpose annexation) does not apply to a limited-purpose annexation under a strategic partnership agreement. The bill would amend Section 43.0751(q) to make an exception relating to the effect of annexation on voting rights, eligibility for office, and taxing authority.
The bill would take effect immediately if it were to receive the required two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2007
