Senate Bill 1942 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Gastonia‑Scurry Special Utility District in a portion of Kaufman County, subject to voter approval at a confirmation election. If creation is confirmed, the bill requires the dissolution of the Gastonia-Scurry Water Supply Corporation, preceded by the transfer to the district of the corporation's assets, debts, and contractual rights and obligations. The district also inherits the corporation's certificate of convenience and necessity. The bill authorizes the district to charge a water service impact fee that is not greater than the equity buy-in fee charged by the corporation on December 31, 2006, under that corporation's tariff. The bill provides that fee increases are allowable only as approved by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality or as provided under certain provisions of the Local Government Code.
