LEGISLATIVE BUDGET BOARD Austin, Texas FISCAL NOTE, 84TH LEGISLATIVE REGULAR SESSION March 6, 2015 TO: Honorable Joe Deshotel, Chair, House Committee on Land & Resource Management FROM: Ursula Parks, Director, Legislative Budget Board IN RE:HB359 by Springer (Relating to a court order to disannex an area from a municipality.), As Introduced No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated. The bill would amend the Local Government Code to authorize a petition to be filed against a municipality that has failed or refused to disannex an area within 60 days of receipt of a petition. A district court could order a municipality to disannex an area if the municipality has not met certain obligations as defined by the provisions of the bill. Local Government Impact There could be a significant fiscal impact to a municipality that failed to comply with disannexation in a timely manner; however, the cost would vary depending on the number of cases filed, the value of land that resulted in a loss of ad valorem and sales tax revenue; and whether a municipality had an extraterritorial jurisdiction to annex.
