Bill Summary

AN ACT relating to the authority of the Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 405 to exclude territory; validating and confirming all previous acts of the district.

AI Summary

This bill provides specific legal provisions for the Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 405 (the district), primarily focusing on its authority to exclude undeveloped property through contractual agreements. Under the bill, the district can enter into a written contract with a property owner to remove their land from the district, but with important financial conditions: the excluded property will still be responsible for paying its pro rata share of existing district indebtedness, and the district can continue to levy and collect debt service taxes on the excluded property until that share is paid in full. The bill also ensures that the exclusion does not impair the rights of existing bondholders and allows the district to issue previously voter-approved but unissued bonds without holding a new election. Additionally, the bill validates and confirms all previous governmental acts of the district, with the caveat that this validation does not apply to any matters currently involved in litigation that might ultimately be deemed invalid. The bill takes effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote in both legislative chambers, or on September 1, 2025, if it does not receive the necessary immediate-effect votes.
