COMMITTEE SUBSTITUTE FOR S.B. No. 379 By: Schwertner
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 Subsection (b-1) 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 public school district located in a county with a
population of less than 25,000 is required to file an annual report
under Subsection (a) only if the district's eminent domain
authority information has changed from the information reported in
the most recent report filed by the district under this section. If
for the current annual reporting period the district's eminent
domain authority information is the same as the information
reflected for the district in the eminent domain database for the
previous annual reporting period, the district, not later than
February 1 of the current annual reporting period, shall confirm
the accuracy of the information by electronically updating the
district's previously filed report with the comptroller in the
manner prescribed by the comptroller.
SECTION 2. This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
