| S.B. No. 468 | ||
|
|
||
| relating to the extraterritorial jurisdiction of certain | ||
| municipalities in coastal border counties. | ||
| BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS: | ||
| SECTION 1. Section 42.0235, Local Government Code, is | ||
| amended by amending Subsection (a) and adding Subsection (d) to | ||
| read as follows: | ||
| (a) Notwithstanding Section 42.021, and except as provided | ||
| by Subsection (d), the extraterritorial jurisdiction of a | ||
| municipality with a population of more than 175,000 located in a | ||
| county that contains an international border and borders the Gulf | ||
| of Mexico terminates two miles from the extraterritorial | ||
| jurisdiction of a neighboring municipality if extension of the | ||
| extraterritorial jurisdiction beyond that limit would: | ||
| (1) completely surround the corporate boundaries or | ||
| extraterritorial jurisdiction of the neighboring municipality; and | ||
| (2) limit the growth of the neighboring municipality | ||
| by precluding the expansion of the neighboring municipality's | ||
| extraterritorial jurisdiction. | ||
| (d) Extraterritorial jurisdiction for a municipality | ||
| subject to this section is determined under Section 42.021 if the | ||
| governing body of the municipality and the governing body of the | ||
| neighboring municipality each adopt, on or after June 1, 2017, | ||
| resolutions stating that the determination of extraterritorial | ||
| jurisdiction under Section 42.0235(a) is not in the best interest | ||
| of the municipality. | ||
| SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017. | ||
