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total financial obligation of a withdrawn unit of election to an | ||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shall determine the total financial obligation of the withdrawn | ||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withdrawn unit of election.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. |
