House Bill 812 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Sunrise Municipal Utility District of Hunt County, subject to dissolution if the district is not confirmed by voters before September 1, 2007. The bill grants the district authority for water control and storage projects and allows it to contract with a political subdivision to obtain retail water or sewer service in the district. The bill also grants the district certain road project powers, applicable inside or outside the district, and allows it to impose a special tax to support related bonds provided that bond issuance is approved by a two-thirds majority of district voters in an election called on the issue. The bill provides that certain Water Code provisions relating to Texas Commission on Environmental Quality bond approval and supervision do not apply in the case of the road projects of the district, and it exempts various types of utility properties from district impact fees and assessments.
