Senate Bill 2043 adds a chapter to the Special District Local Laws Code relating to the New Sweden Municipal Utility District No. 2, located in Travis County and created administratively by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality under general-law provisions of the Water Code. The bill specifies the general powers of the district. It authorizes the district and a municipality that has made a strategic partnership agreement with the district and that has extraterritorial jurisdiction over the entire territory of the district to agree to the municipality's annexation, including limited purpose annexation, of all or a part of the district's territory, and to the allocation between the two entities, following annexation, of taxes imposed on real property in the district. The bill provides that the new chapter does not eliminate any general-law annexation rights of the municipality. It sets forth specific provisions that may be included in the tax allocation agreement.
