Bill Caption
Relating to expedited court proceedings in cases involving substandard buildings.
Fiscal Notes
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
Bill Analysis
This
bill would modify the local government code to expedite proceedings for certain
civil actions. If this bill passes, any proceeding, including appeals, related
to a suit brought for the enforcement of an ordinance relating to dangerously
damaged or deteriorated structures would be expedited. These suits would be governed
under the procedures for accelerated appeals in civil cases under the Texas
Rules of Appellate Procedure and the court would be required to render its
final order or judgement with the least possible delay.
Vote Recommendation Notes
This legislation is procedural in nature with no apparent connection to our liberty principles, therefore we remain neutral.
