Ways & Means |
Committee Report (Unamended) |
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
Under current law, a person is ineligible to serve on the appraisal review board of an appraisal district established for a county having a population of more than 100,000 if the person is a former member of the appraisal district's board of directors or a former officer or former employee of the district or has served for all or part of three previous terms as a member of the appraisal review board.
H.B. 975 removes the restriction preventing a person who has served for all or part of three previous terms as a member of an appraisal review board of an appraisal district established for a county having a population of more than 100,000 from serving a subsequent term.

ANALYSIS
H.B. 975 amends the Tax Code to remove as a condition making a person ineligible to serve on the appraisal review board of an appraisal district established for a county having a population of more than 100,000 the fact that the person has served all or part of three previous terms as a board member or auxiliary board member on the appraisal review board and clarifies that a person is ineligible to serve on the appraisal review board if the person is a former member of the board of directors, a former officer, or a former employee of the appraisal district. The bill removes as a condition of ineligibility for service on the appraisal review board in an appraisal district established for a county other than a county having a population of more than 100,000 the fact that the person has served all or part of three consecutive terms as an auxiliary board member. The bill repeals a provision relating to a reference to an auxiliary board member appointed under a repealed provision that previously authorized the appointment of such auxiliary members to appraisal review boards. The bill makes conforming and nonsubstantive changes.
H.B. 975 repeals Section 6.412(f), Tax Code.
