S.B. No. 1110 proposes an amendment to the Local Government Code, specifically Section 211.006, by adding a new Subsection (g). This new provision states that the existing requirements outlined in Subsection (d) will not apply to properties where developments have applied for or received tax credits under Chapter 2306, Subchapter DD of the Government Code. This exemption aims to facilitate certain developments that receive financial assistance from the Texas Department of Housing and Community Affairs, thereby potentially easing zoning restrictions for these projects.
The bill is designed to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds majority vote from both houses of the Texas Legislature. If it does not achieve this level of support, the bill will still come into effect on September 1, 2025. This legislative change reflects an effort to promote housing development by providing specific exemptions for projects that are financially supported by state-administered tax credits.
Statutes affected: Introduced: Local Government Code 211.006 (Local Government Code 211)
