Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The Driftwood Conservation District was created several years ago, is part of a golf course development in Driftwood in Hays County, and is within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Dripping Springs. The district's boundaries in its enabling legislation need to be changed in order to reflect annexations made with the city's consent in response to landowner petitions. S.B. 2183 makes these boundary changes.
