The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize certain Type A corporations to undertake any project a Type B corporation is authorized to undertake. The authorizing municipality would have the ability to revoke the distinction for an individual corporation. The provisions of the bill would apply only to a city with a population of 7,500 or less that has adopted both the 4A and 4B corporations.
