House Bill 3574 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Dallas County Municipal Utility District No. 3, subject to dissolution if not confirmed by voters before September 1, 2007. The bill authorizes the district to pursue water control and storage projects and to overflow and inundate district lands and district property. It authorizes road projects, if consent is granted by the county and by each municipality in whose corporate limits or extraterritorial jurisdiction the district is located. Bonds or obligations to finance such projects, if secured wholly or partly by ad valorem taxation, require two-thirds approval by district voters, and may not exceed one-fourth of the assessed value of the real property in the district. The bill provides that Water Code provisions relating to Texas Commission on Environmental Quality supervision and bond approval do not apply to road projects of the district, and it prohibits district impact fees or assessments on the property of an electric utility, power generation company, gas utility, telecommunications provider, cable operator, or provider of public advanced telecommunications services.
