Senate Bill 2504 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the Montgomery County Municipal Utility Districts No. 128 and No. 129, subject to voter approval at confirmation elections, and to grant each district the general-law powers and duties applicable to municipal utility districts, including the authority to issue bonds and impose taxes. Each district is also authorized to undertake certain road projects, 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. The bill sets forth the effect of annexation of each district by a municipality in whose extraterritorial jurisdiction the land in the district lies. The bill prohibits each district from exercising the power of eminent domain outside its boundaries to acquire a site or an easement for an authorized road project or a recreational facility.
