Bill > HB5394

This bill amends the powers, duties, territory, and governance of the Westwood Magnolia Parkway Improvement District. The key provisions are: 1. It adds additional territory to the district's boundaries, specifying numerous parcels that are now included. 2. It allows the district to enter into agreements with the Texas Department of Transportation and exercise certain powers related to traffic improvements. 3. It permits the district to select the municipality that may exercise authority within the district. 4. It broadens the types of local governments that can make payments or pledges to the district for improvement projects, facilities, services, or equipment. 5. It enables the district to enter into strategic partnership agreements with other districts, similar to how municipalities can under state law. The bill provides that existing board members can continue serving their terms, and that the new strategic partnership agreement provisions only apply to agreements entered into or renewed after the effective date of this legislation.
