Here’s a closer look at two real estate bills 政府. 雅培于6月15日敲定.

TREC bill has governor’s signature
其中一项法案是. Abbott signed was TAR-supported 参议院第2212号法案，森. Kelly Hancock and sponsored by Rep. 约翰库佩尔.

TAR worked with the Texas Real Estate Commission on this important legislation that will protect 消费者 from 误导 real estate advertisements and require 信息披露 from real estate wholesalers.

Veto may not be the end for tree bills
Some municipalities charge private-property owners a fee for a permit to remove trees of a certain size from their own property as development occurs.

政府. 包括艾伯特的否决 参议院第744号法案，森. Lois Kolkhorst and sponsored by Rep. 戴德Phelan, which would have allowed private-property owners to apply for a credit from their city to offset removing trees from their own property instead of paying a fee.

然而, the issue is likely to arise again because 雅培的 special session agenda includes a call to pass legislation that prevents cities from regulating what property owners do with trees on private land. (See the full list of special session agenda items 在州长的网站上.)

雅培的 关于SB 744否决的声明 包括以下解释:

这个法案本意是好的, but by the end of the legislative process it actually ended up doing more to protect cities than it did to protect the rights of property owners.  I applaud the bill authors for their efforts, but I believe we can do better for private property owners in the upcoming special session.
