|
adding Subsection (a-2) to read as follows: |
|
(a-2) A person may not serve on the board of a property |
|

|
subsection does not apply: |
|
(1) to an association with fewer than 10 residences; |
|
or |

|
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act does not |
|
affect the entitlement of a member serving on the board of a |
|
property owners' association immediately before the effective date |
|
of this Act to continue to carry out the board's functions for the |
|
remainder of the member's term. The change in law applies only to a |
|
member elected on or after the effective date of this Act. |
|
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives |
|
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as |
|
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this |
|
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this |
|
Act takes effect September 1, 2019. |
