Relating to the qualification of candidates for, and the training and education of members of, the board of directors of an appraisal district; authorizing a fee.

HB 5048 requires members of Texas appraisal district boards of directors to complete a mandatory 4-hour training course before each term. The course, approved by the state comptroller, covers board duties and responsibilities and must be completed to vote or attend meetings. The comptroller may charge a $50 fee per person to cover training costs, but not for other services. This bill standardizes board member qualifications across appraisal districts, which assess property taxes for local governments.
