| H.B. No. 674 | ||
|
|
||
| relating to providing notice of certain proposed municipal zoning | ||
| changes to a school district. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 211.007, Local Government Code, is | ||
| amended by adding Subsections (c-1) and (c-2) to read as follows: | ||
| (c-1) Before the 10th day before the hearing date, written | ||
| notice of each public hearing before the zoning commission on a | ||
| proposed change in a zoning classification affecting residential or | ||
| multifamily zoning shall be sent to each school district in which | ||
| the property for which the change in classification is proposed is | ||
| located. The notice may be served by its deposit in the | ||
| municipality, properly addressed with postage paid, in the United | ||
| States mail. | ||
| (c-2) Subsection (c-1) does not apply to a municipality the | ||
| majority of which is located in a county with a population of | ||
| 100,000 or less, except that such a municipality must give notice | ||
| under Subsection (c-1) to a school district that has territory in | ||
| the municipality and requests the notice. For purposes of this | ||
| subsection, if a school district makes a request for notice under | ||
| Subsection (c-1), the municipality must give notice of each public | ||
| hearing held following the request unless the school district | ||
| requests that no further notices under Subsection (c-1) be given to | ||
| the school district. | ||
| SECTION 2. The changes in law made by this Act apply only to | ||
| a proposal to change a municipal zoning classification made on or | ||
| after the effective date of this Act. A proposal to change a | ||
| municipal zoning classification made before the effective date of | ||
| this Act is governed by the law in effect at the time the proposal | ||
| was made, and the former law is continued in effect for that | ||
| purpose. | ||
| SECTION 3. This Act takes effect September 1, 2013. | ||
