Bill > HB3671

This bill proposes the dissolution of the Tarrant County Municipal Utility District No. 2 (MUD), a special district that typically provides water, sewage, and other utility services to a specific geographic area. Under the bill, the district's directors will first wind up the district's affairs, including filing necessary dissolution documents with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). On the 60th day after the bill's effective date, the district will be officially dissolved, and the terms of its directors will expire. The bill also repeals Chapter 8092 of the Special District Local Laws Code on the 61st day after its effective date. The bill includes procedural provisions confirming that all required legal notices have been published and that the TCEQ has reviewed and filed recommendations about the dissolution. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers; otherwise, it will take effect on September 1, 2025. This type of specific district dissolution is not uncommon in Texas, where special utility districts are created to serve developing areas and can be dissolved when they are no longer needed.
