H.B. No. 2913 amends the Local Government Code to grant municipalities the authority to allow individuals who reside or own property within the municipality to file applications aimed at stopping nonconforming uses of properties. The new legal language added to Section 211.019 specifies that this section does not prohibit municipalities from adopting or enforcing ordinances or regulations that facilitate such applications.

The bill clarifies that the provisions apply to any ordinances, regulations, or measures adopted by municipalities, regardless of whether they were enacted before or after the bill's effective date of September 1, 2025. This change aims to enhance local governance by empowering residents and property owners to address nonconforming uses that may affect their communities.
