House Bill 1136 amends the Local Government Code to authorize any municipality to undertake a project that confers a special benefit on areas that share a common characteristic or use in a public improvement district solely composed of territory in which the only businesses are one or more hotels. The bill restricts the purposes for which such a district created after September 1, 2019, may undertake such a project. The bill authorizes a municipality's governing body to include property that is a hotel in such a district if the property could have been included in the district without violating certain petition requirements when the district was created.
