Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:
HB1970 by Pickett (Relating to the requirement that certain municipalities and counties regulate subdivisions in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality by agreement.), As Introduced
No fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
The bill would amend the Local Government Code to provide requirements for certain municipalities and counties to regulate subdivisions within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the municipality by agreement. A county and a municipality must enter into arbitration if an agreement is not in effect on or before January 1, 2014 as defined by the provisions of the bill.
Local Government Impact
There could be a fiscal impact to applicable municipalities and counties that do not comply with the agreement requirements; however, those amounts would vary depending on the number of instances an agreement is not formed and the amount of costs incurred for arbitration.
