Bill > HB5681

This bill modifies the powers of the Westwood Magnolia Parkway Improvement District by expanding its ability to enter into interlocal agreements with local governments. Specifically, the bill adds a new provision that allows the district to provide administrative and operational support for a county assistance district located in the same county, with the county commissioners court serving as the governing body. The bill also clarifies that for these purposes, the improvement district can be considered a municipality under Chapter 387 of the Local Government Code. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions that allow the district and local governments to collaborate on improvement projects, facilities, services, or equipment, and permits local governments to pay for such agreements using tax collections or other available funds. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, potentially providing the district with more flexibility in regional collaborative efforts and administrative support.
