TO: | Honorable Royce West, Chair, Senate Committee on Intergovernmental Relations |
FROM: | John S. O'Brien, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
IN RE: | HB3834 by Gonzales (Relating to authorizing the amount of a fee charged by certain counties for issuing certain utility certificates.), As Engrossed |
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to specify the amount of a fee that may be imposed by a county commissioners court for issuing certain utility certificates. Under current statute, the fee may not be greater than the amount of the fee imposed by a municipality for a subdivision that is located entirely in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality for a plat compliance certificate. The bill would set the fee at the greater of $30 or the amount of the municipal fee.
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.
