Urging Hidalgo County to reduce its tax rate upon establishment of the Hidalgo County Healthcare District.

Fiscal Notes

There is no fiscal note.

Bill Analysis

SCR 39 seeks to request the legislature to respectfully urge the Hidalgo County Healthcare District to lower it's tax rate upon establishment as to not further burden the citizens of Hidalgo County. 

Vote Recommendation Notes

SCR would simply have the Texas legislature request the Hidalgo County Healthcare District to lower their tax rate upon establishment. Hidalgo County is already one of the most heavily taxed counties in the state and country. Provided that the Hidalgo County Healthcare District is established, this resolution would seek to protect the citizens of Hidalgo County from overly burdensome taxes. We support this legislation.
