House Bill 3984 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Double Platinum Ranch Water Control and Improvement District No. 1 of Grayson County, subject to voter approval at a confirmation election. It grants the district certain road project powers, but bonds for road projects require approval by a two-thirds majority of those voting in a district election, and the bonds or other obligations for such projects may not exceed one-fourth of the assessed value of the real property in the district. If a portion of the district's territory is excluded from the corporate limits of the City of Gunter, the bill makes the district responsible for the improvement, maintenance, repair, and operation of roads in that portion. The bill prohibits the district from acting as a retail provider of water and wastewater services and requires that the district make its water and wastewater facilities available to an entity holding the applicable certificate of convenience and necessity.
