Relating to hearing and public notice requirements regarding the conversion by a municipality of certain properties to house homeless individuals.

HB 4626 requires Texas municipalities to hold a public hearing at least 90 days before converting municipal properties for homeless housing, with notice mailed to all nearby residents and businesses within a one-mile radius at least 36 hours in advance. It directly affects city councils and local governments planning such conversions, mandating transparency before proceeding. The bill includes an exception for temporary housing during natural disasters or emergencies and allows affected neighbors to seek court orders to stop non-compliant conversions. This law applies only to conversions starting on or after its effective date, which would be September 1, 2025, unless passed with a two-thirds vote.
