Amend SB 1572 on third reading by striking the text of added Section 214.233(a-1), Local Government Code, and substituting the following:
(a-1) A municipality located in a county of more than 250,000 that borders the Gulf of Mexico and is adjacent to a county with a population of more than 3.3 million may adopt an ordinance that allows but does not require owners of vacant buildings to register their buildings by filing a registration form with a designated municipal official. A municipality that adopts an ordinance under this subsection may not place a lien on a property solely because the property is registered under this subsection. An owner of a vacant building who is not otherwise liable for damages is not liable solely because the owner does not register the building under an ordinance adopted under this subsection.
