H.B. No. 674
 
 
 
 
AN ACT
  relating to providing notice of certain proposed municipal zoning
  changes to a school district.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 211.007, Local Government Code, is
  amended by adding Subsections (c-1) and (c-2) to read as follows:
         (c-1)  Before the 10th day before the hearing date, written
  notice of each public hearing before the zoning commission on a
  proposed change in a zoning classification affecting residential or
  multifamily zoning shall be sent to each school district in which
  the property for which the change in classification is proposed is
  located. The notice may be served by its deposit in the
  municipality, properly addressed with postage paid, in the United
  States mail.
         (c-2)  Subsection (c-1) does not apply to a municipality the
  majority of which is located in a county with a population of
  100,000 or less, except that such a municipality must give notice
  under Subsection (c-1) to a school district that has territory in
  the municipality and requests the notice. For purposes of this
  subsection, if a school district makes a request for notice under
  Subsection (c-1), the municipality must give notice of each public
  hearing held following the request unless the school district
  requests that no further notices under Subsection (c-1) be given to
  the school district.
         SECTION 2.  The changes in law made by this Act apply only to
  a proposal to change a municipal zoning classification made on or
  after the effective date of this Act. A proposal to change a
  municipal zoning classification made before the effective date of
  this Act is governed by the law in effect at the time the proposal
  was made, and the former law is continued in effect for that
  purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2013.
