A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
|
|
|
AN ACT
|
|
|
relating to the applicability of the requirement that appraisal |
|
|
review board members be appointed by the local administrative |
|
|
district judge. |
|
|
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: |
|
|
SECTION 1. Section 6.41(d-1), Tax Code, is amended to read |
|
|
as follows: |
|
|
(d-1) In a county with a population of 350,000 [120,000] or |
|
|
more the members of the board are appointed by the local |
|
|
administrative district judge under Subchapter D, Chapter 74, |
|
|
Government Code, in the county in which the appraisal district is |
|
|
established. All applications submitted to the appraisal district |
|
|
or to the appraisal review board from persons seeking appointment |
|
|
as a member of the appraisal review board shall be delivered to the |
|
|
local administrative district judge. The appraisal district may |
|
|
provide the local administrative district judge with information |
|
|
regarding whether an applicant for appointment to or a member of the |
|
|
board owes any delinquent ad valorem taxes to a taxing unit |
|
|
participating in the appraisal district. |
|
|
SECTION 2. (a) The changes made to Section 6.41, Tax Code, |
|
|
by this Act apply only to the appointment of appraisal review board |
|
|
members to terms beginning on or after January 1, 2018. This Act |
|
|
does not affect the term of an appraisal review board member serving |
|
|
on December 31, 2017, if the member was appointed before January 1, |
|
|
2018, to a term that began before December 31, 2017, and expires |
|
|
December 31, 2018. |
|
|
(b) The changes in law made by this Act to Sections 6.41(i) |
|
|
and (j), Tax Code, apply only to an offense committed on or after |
|
|
the effective date of this Act. An offense committed before the |
|
|
effective date of this Act is governed by the law in effect on the |
|
|
date the offense was committed, and the former law is continued in |
|
|
effect for that purpose. For purposes of this subsection, an |
|
|
offense was committed before the effective date of this Act if any |
|
|
element of the offense occurred before that date. |
|
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. |
