directors of an appraisal district for periodically conducting

certain reappraisal activities.

BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:

SECTION 1. Section 25.18(a), Tax Code, is amended to read as

follows:

(a) Each appraisal office shall implement the plan for

periodic reappraisal of property approved by the board of directors

The plan may not include a standard or

timeline that prevents the chief appraiser from appraising property

as necessary to comply with the requirements of Section 23.01(a).

SECTION 2. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives

a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as

provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this

Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this

Act takes effect September 1, 2025.
