	A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
	AN ACT
	relating to the withdrawal of a unit of election from certain
	regional transportation authorities.
	BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
	SECTION 1. Section 452.659, Transportation Code, is amended
	by adding Subsection (e) to read as follows:
	(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this chapter and
	except as otherwise provided by this subsection, in determining the
	total financial obligation of a withdrawn unit of election to an
	authority consisting of one subregion governed by a subregional
	board created under Subchapter N, Subsection (a)(2) does not apply,
	and the amounts calculated under Subsection (a)(1) do not include
	any financial, contractual, or other obligations incurred by the
	authority between the date that an election to withdraw is ordered
	and the date of the canvass of the election. The subregional board
	shall determine the total financial obligation of the withdrawn
	unit of election not later than the 180th day after the date the
	election is ordered and that determination applies to any election
	that is held not later than 12 months after the date the board
	certifies the amount of the total financial obligation of the
	withdrawn unit of election. This subsection:
	(1) applies to an election to withdraw that is ordered
	before, on, or after September 1, 2015; and
	(2) expires August 31, 2018.
	SECTION 2. 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, 2017.
