BILL ANALYSIS C.S.S.B. 468 By: Lucio Land & Resource Management Committee Report (Substituted) BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Interested parties contend that the determination of the extraterritorial jurisdiction of certain municipalities, such as Brownsville, is not in the best interest of certain communities. C.S.S.B. 468 seeks to address this issue by providing for an alternative determination of such extraterritorial jurisdiction. CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution. ANALYSIS C.S.S.B. 468 amends the Local Government Code to establish that extraterritorial jurisdiction for 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 is determined under statutory provisions relating to the extent of extraterritorial jurisdiction if the governing body of the municipality and the governing body of a neighboring municipality each adopt, on or after June 1, 2017, resolutions stating that the determination of extraterritorial jurisdiction that provides for the termination of the extraterritorial jurisdiction at two miles from the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the neighboring municipality under certain conditions is not in the best interest of the municipality. EFFECTIVE DATE September 1, 2017. COMPARISON OF SENATE ENGROSSED AND SUBSTITUTE While C.S.S.B. 468 may differ from the engrossed in minor or nonsubstantive ways, the following comparison is organized and formatted in a manner that indicates the substantial differences between the engrossed and committee substitute versions of the bill.
