PROCLAMATION BY THE 41-3013 TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME: Pursuant to Article IV, Section 14, of the Texas Constitution, I, Rick Perry, Governor of Texas, do hereby disapprove of and veto Senate Bill No. 1555 as passed by the Seventy- Ninth Texas Legislature, Regular Session, because of the following objections: Senate Bill No. 1555 would allow the Greater East End Management District in Houston to impose assessments on multi-unit residential property consisting of more than 13 units. Currently, the district is prohibited from imposing assessments or taxes on any residential property. The general law governing management districts prohibits districts from imposing impact fees, assessments or taxes on single-family detached residential property, duplexes, triplexes or quadraplexes. The language in this bill would allow for the first time for the management district to assess property taxes on single family homes. Imposing property taxes and assessments on single-family residential property is contrary to the general law governing municipal management districts. Since the Legislature by its adjournment has prevented the return of this bill, I am filing these objections in the office of the Secretary of State and giving notice thereof by this public proclamation according to the aforementioned constitutional provision. IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have signed my name officially and caused the Seal of the State to be affixed hereto at Austin, this 17th day of June, 2005. RICK PERRY Governor of Texas ATTESTED BY:
FILED IN THE OFFICE OF THE- SECRETARY OF STATE S a'gO 1 O'CLOCK 06 JUN 17 2005 ROGER WILLfAfIS Secretary of State
