Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the approval of land use assumptions, capital improvement plans, and impact fees.
AI Summary
This bill modifies several aspects of local government regulations regarding land use assumptions, capital improvement plans, and impact fees in Texas. The bill extends the public notice period to at least 60 days before hearings on land use assumptions and capital improvements plans, requiring political subdivisions to make their plans and projections publicly available well in advance. It mandates that approving an impact fee now requires an affirmative vote from three-fourths of the governing body's members. The bill also introduces a new restriction preventing political subdivisions from increasing impact fees more than once every five years. Additionally, the bill changes the timeframe for reviewing updated land use assumptions from 60 to 120 days and modifies the composition of advisory committees overseeing impact fees, requiring that at least 50% (increased from 40%) of committee members represent real estate, development, or building industries. The legislation removes previous provisions allowing planning and zoning commissions to automatically serve as advisory committees and includes specific requirements about representation. The bill will take effect on September 1, 2025, and applies to new impact fee adoptions and hearings held after that date, providing a transitional period for local governments to adapt to the new regulations.
