Committee forwards bill allowing upper-properties district to seek voter approval to raise parcel fee
Summary
HB 53, described as a mechanism for an upper-properties district to put a parcel-fee increase before voters, was reported favorably by the committee.
House Bill 53, which the sponsor described as a procedural measure allowing an upper-properties district to place a parcel-fee increase before district voters, was reported favorably by the Senate Committee on Local and Municipal Affairs on May 14.
Representative Freeman told the committee the bill is a local mechanism that "is simply a way for the upper properties, and it's something that that district gets to vote on and decide if they are gonna raise the parcel fee. That's a simple explanation." The committee moved to report the bill favorably on a motion from Senator Boudreaux; there were no recorded objections during the hearing.
The transcript does not specify the current fee level, the proposed increase, or the district name; those details appear in the bill text and local notices.
