Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the creation of the Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 258; granting a limited power of eminent domain; providing authority to issue bonds; providing authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.
AI Summary
This bill creates the Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 258, a special-purpose local government entity established under the Texas Constitution with specific powers and limitations. The district will be governed by a five-member board of directors, initially with temporary directors appointed by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, and will have the authority to provide municipal utility services, construct and maintain roads, and issue bonds. The district can impose taxes and fees after obtaining voter approval, with specific restrictions on ad valorem (property) taxes for road projects, which require a two-thirds majority vote. The district's initial territory consists of two parcels totaling approximately 416.63 acres in Montgomery County, and it must obtain consent from local municipalities before conducting elections or implementing its powers. The bill includes provisions that limit the district's ability to exercise eminent domain if it does not receive a two-thirds vote in the legislature, and it will take effect either immediately upon such a vote or on September 1, 2025, if the two-thirds threshold is not met. The district is designed to serve public purposes by providing infrastructure and utility services to the designated area.
