AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to municipal comprehensive plans affecting defense |
|
|
adjustment management authorities. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 375.312, Local Government Code, is |
|
|
amended by adding Subsections (c) and (d) to read as follows: |
|
|
(c) The authority has the power to approve or deny a |
|
|
proposal to amend a municipal comprehensive plan adopted under |
|
|
Chapter 213 that affects the area of the authority. The proposal |
|
|
must be presented to and reviewed by the board before the proposal |
|
|
is presented to the planning commission or governing body of the |
|
|
municipality. The planning commission or governing body of the |
|
|
municipality may not adopt the proposal unless the board approves |
|
|
the proposal. The board's decision to deny a proposal is final and |
|
|
may not be appealed. |
|
|
(d) On annexation of an area of the authority for full |
|
|
purposes by a municipality, the authority's power under Subsection |
|
|
(c) expires. The authority regains the power in an area if the |
|
|
municipality disannexes the area. |
|
|

|
|

|
|
or amendment before the effective date of this Act is governed by |
|
|
the law in effect when the provision or amendment was adopted, and |
|
|
the former law is continued in effect for that purpose. |
