            ARTICLE ____.  NORTH HARRIS COUNTY REGIONAL
                          WATER AUTHORITY
      SECTION ____. Section 1.03, Chapter 1029, Acts of the 76th
Legislature, Regular Session, 1999, is amended by adding
Subsections (e) and (f) to read as follows:
      (e)  The governing body of the city of Jersey Village may
call a special election before December 31, 2001, to allow the
voters of the city to determine whether the area that on September
1, 2001, was inside the municipal limits of the city should be
excluded from the authority's territory.  If a majority of the
voters voting at that election vote to exclude that area from the
authority's territory, then, notwithstanding Subsections (a) and
(b) of this section, that area is excluded.
      (f)  If the territory of the city is excluded under
Subsection (e) of this section, the city may not petition to rejoin
the authority for a period of five years.  If the city petitions to
rejoin the authority after the five year period of ineligibility
expires, the authority may require the city to pay:
            (1)  the amount the city would have paid had the
territory of the city remained within the authority, plus interest;
and
            (2)  any additional costs determined by the authority's
board to be equitable in light of the costs incurred by other
districts and entities within the authority to support the expenses
of the authority and establish a groundwater protection plan and
provide alternative water supplies, including a pro rata share of
any debt service or principal payments made by the authority.
