Bill > SB2675

This bill modifies the Local Government Code to create a specific exemption for park land conveyance (transfer of ownership) under certain precise conditions. Specifically, the bill allows a municipality with a population of at least 140,000 located in a county with a population of at least 800,000, situated on an international border, and without any city over 500,000 residents, to convey park land located within one mile of a municipal convention facility through a resolution or ordinance adopted by the city's governing body. This exemption appears to provide more flexibility for a specific municipality to transfer park land without following standard restrictions that typically govern such transactions. The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, or otherwise will become effective on September 1, 2025. The targeted nature of the bill suggests it is designed to address a very specific local government's needs regarding park land management.
