House Bill 1691 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Waller County Municipal Utility District No. 14, subject to voter approval at a confirmation election. The bill grants the district the power to undertake certain road projects and to develop and maintain recreational facilities, but provides that property tax bonds to finance road projects require approval by a two-thirds majority in a district election and that the combined bonds and obligations for road 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 an authorized road project or a recreational facility.
