AI Summary
This bill validates the creation of the Austin County Municipal Utility District No. 1 and retroactively confirms all related actions taken within the past five years. Specifically, the bill validates the temporary directors' actions, including calling an election to confirm and establish the district, elect permanent directors, and approve bond issuances and ad valorem (property) taxes. It also confirms the district election held on November 2, 2021, which established the district, elected five permanent directors, and approved bonds for water, sewage, drainage, and road infrastructure. The bill does not apply to any ongoing litigation concerning the district's validity or to any acts previously invalidated by a court judgment. 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. The bill also confirms that all required legal notices have been published and that the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality has reviewed and submitted recommendations about the district's creation.
