House Bill 1597 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 202, subject to voter approval at a confirmation election. The bill grants the district the power to undertake certain road projects, but the issuance of property tax bonds to finance such projects requires approval by a two-thirds majority in a district election, and the total bonds and obligations for such projects may not exceed one-fourth of the assessed value of the real property in the district. The bill prohibits the district from exercising the power of eminent domain outside the district to acquire a site or easement for a road project or a recreational facility.
