Abstract
(HB6228 · 103rd Legislature) Economic development: tax increment financing; tax increment financing act; amend to exempt museum authorities. TIE BAR WITH: HB 6226’26, HB 6227’26 Sponsor: Rep. Tyrone Carter (D) + 1 co-sponsor In committee: H Government Operations Latest action (2026-08-11): Bill Electronically Reproduced 07/29/2026
Why this matters
Tax increment financing (TIF) captures incremental property tax revenue to fund local development authorities, which can reduce the tax base available to overlapping taxing units. Exempting museum authorities from TIF capture would preserve their dedicated millage revenue from being redirected to development authorities, affecting how much museums collect versus what downtown, brownfield, and corridor authorities can leverage. The tie-bar with HB6226 and HB6227 means all three museum-authority bills must pass together to take effect.
