H.B. No. 1723 proposes to amend the eligibility criteria for relocation assistance provided by the state or its political subdivisions. Specifically, the bill repeals Section 21.046(e) of the Property Code, which may have previously outlined certain conditions or limitations regarding relocation assistance. This repeal is intended to apply only to moves or discontinuations resulting from actions taken by the state or political subdivisions on or after the bill's effective date, which is set for September 1, 2025.

Furthermore, the bill clarifies that any moves or discontinuations that occur due to actions taken before the effective date will still be governed by the previous law, ensuring that individuals affected by earlier actions retain their rights under the former regulations. This transition aims to provide a clear framework for those seeking relocation assistance in the future while maintaining protections for those impacted by past actions.
