AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

The 88th Legislature passed H.B. 3053 to help protect the property rights of residents in areas that had been forcibly annexed by providing for an election for the residents of that area to decide whether they wanted to remain annexed or to dissannex. By an overwhelming majority, voters decided to disannex.

S.B. 2419 builds upon H.B. 3053 by adding further clarification as it relates to disannexation for limited districts to help protect the rights of residents in limited districts that were forcibly annexed or have recently disannexed.

As proposed, S.B. 2419 amends current law relating to the authority of a special district to exercise certain powers and duties following municipal disannexation of certain areas.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.
