Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to the name of and appointment of directors for the Harris-Montgomery Counties Management District.
AI Summary
This bill updates the name and board appointment process for the Harris-Montgomery Counties Management District, renaming it to the Southeast Regional Management District. The bill modifies several sections of the Special District Local Laws Code to replace references to "Harris-Montgomery Counties" with "Southeast Regional" throughout the district's legal description. Additionally, the bill expands the board's options for recommending new board members, allowing them to either recommend persons to the Harris County Commissioners Court or petition the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) to appoint board members. If the board chooses to petition TCEQ, the commission will then appoint board members based on the board's recommendations. 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 immediate effect vote. This change appears to be a technical update to the district's legal framework, potentially reflecting changes in the district's geographic scope or governance structure.
