House Bill 1300 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Kennedale Towncenter Development District in Tarrant County. It grants the district the general-law powers of a municipal management district, a road district, a road utility district, a municipal utility district, and a water district generally. The district may contract for law enforcement services. It may impose assessments and impact fees, but assessments to finance a service or improvement project require a petition by a specified number of real property owners in the assessed area. Additionally, the district must obtain the approval of voters to impose a maintenance tax or issue bonds payable from property taxes, unless it has obtained written consent from all of its property owners, and must obtain the approval of the City of Kennedale for the issuance of bonds for an improvement project, the plans and specifications for a project financed by bonds, or the plans and specifications for any other improvement project related to the use of certain land, easements, or rights-of-way.
