A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to eminent domain reporting requirements for certain
entities.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Section 2206.154, Government Code, is amended by
amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsections (b-1) and (b-2) to
read as follows:
(a) Except as provided by Subsections [Subsection] (b) and
(b-1), not later than February 1 of each year, an entity described
by Section 2206.151 shall submit to the comptroller a report
containing records and other information specified by this
subchapter for the purpose of providing the comptroller with
information to maintain the eminent domain database under Section
2206.153. The entity shall submit the report in a form and in the
manner prescribed by the comptroller.
(b-1) A political subdivision described by Subsection (b-2)
is required to file an annual report under Subsection (a) only if
the political subdivision's eminent domain authority information
has changed from the information reported in the most recent report
filed by the political subdivision under this section. If for the
current annual reporting period the political subdivision's
eminent domain authority information is the same as the information
reflected for the political subdivision in the eminent domain
database for the previous annual reporting period, the political
subdivision, not later than February 1 of the current annual
reporting period, shall confirm the accuracy of the information by
electronically updating the political subdivision's previously
filed report with the comptroller in the manner prescribed by the
comptroller.
(b-2) Subsection (b-1) applies to the following political
subdivisions:
(1) a public school district located in a county with a
population of less than 75,000;
(2) a municipality or county with a population of less
than 75,000; and
(3) a district created under Section 59, Article XVI,
or Section 52, Article III, Texas Constitution, with a population
of less than 75,000.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2019.
