By: Oliverson

Land & Resource Management

Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

In the 86th Regular Session, H.B. 4734 was passed, creating the Green Tree Park Municipal Utility District. The district was originally intended for the development of a single family home community. After the district's creation, however, the original owner sold the property to another developer. Constituents have expressed concerns regarding the new ownership and wish to dissolve the district. H.B. 3301 seeks to address this issue by providing for the district's dissolution.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.
