Relating to county zoning authority for certain counties; creating a criminal offense.

HB 4946 would create a new process for certain Texas counties with specific population sizes (e.g., 93,000-99,000 residents) to adopt zoning rules for unincorporated areas not already covered by city zoning. It requires either a commissioners court vote or a voter election triggered by a petition signed by at least 10% of recent gubernatorial voters. The petition must include verified voter registration details and a specific statement about authorizing county zoning in unincorporated zones. This bill directly affects voters in those targeted counties and county officials responsible for zoning decisions. The legislation does not include a criminal offense provision in the provided text, focusing solely on the zoning adoption process.
