HB 1995 -- Reclassification of Counties

Sponsor:  Schieffer

Currently, counties can change classification only after their
assessed valuation qualifies for the new classification for five
successive years, except that any county may become a first
classification county at any time after it reaches the required
assessed valuation and the county governing body elects to change
classification.  This bill allows a county to become a second
classification county upon reaching the required assessed
valuation and approval from the governing body.

The effective date for the classification is changed from the
beginning of the county's fiscal year following the next general
election after certification of the new assessed valuation to the
beginning of the county's fiscal year following the election by
the governing body.
