relating to the authority of the governing body of a hospital | ||
district to vote for candidates for director of the appraisal | ||
district in which the hospital district participates. | ||
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
SECTION 1. Sections 6.03(c) and (e), Tax Code, are amended | ||
to read as follows: | ||
(c) Members of the board of directors other than a county | ||
assessor-collector serving as a nonvoting director are appointed by | ||
vote of the governing bodies of the incorporated cities and towns, | ||
the school districts, the junior college districts, the hospital | ||
districts, and, if entitled to vote, the conservation and | ||
reclamation districts that participate in the district and of the | ||
county. A governing body may cast all its votes for one candidate | ||
or distribute them among candidates for any number of | ||
directorships. Conservation and reclamation districts are not | ||
entitled to vote unless at least one conservation and reclamation | ||
district in the district delivers to the chief appraiser a written | ||
request to nominate and vote on the board of directors by June 1 of | ||
each odd-numbered year. On receipt of a request, the chief | ||
appraiser shall certify a list by June 15 of all eligible | ||
conservation and reclamation districts that are imposing taxes and | ||
that participate in the district. | ||
(e) The chief appraiser shall calculate the number of votes | ||
to which each taxing unit other than a conservation and reclamation | ||
district is entitled and shall deliver written notice to each of | ||
those taxing units of its voting entitlement before October 1 of | ||
each odd-numbered year. The chief appraiser shall deliver the | ||
notice: | ||
(1) to the county judge and each commissioner of the | ||
county served by the appraisal district; | ||
(2) to the presiding officer of the governing body of | ||
each city or town participating in the appraisal district, to the | ||
city manager of each city or town having a city manager, and to the | ||
city secretary or clerk, if there is one, of each city or town that | ||
does not have a city manager; | ||
(3) to the presiding officer of the governing body of | ||
each school district participating in the district and to the | ||
superintendent of those school districts; [ |
||
(4) to the presiding officer of the governing body of | ||
each junior college district participating in the district and to | ||
the president, chancellor, or other chief executive officer of | ||
those junior college districts; and | ||
(5) to the presiding officer of the governing body and | ||
the hospital administrator of each hospital district participating | ||
in the district. | ||
SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
the selection of appraisal district directors for terms that begin | ||
on or after January 1, 2024. | ||
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, 2023. |
