DIGEST AND PURPOSE

In 1979, the 66th Texas Legislature created the Greater Texoma Municipal
Utility District, a conservation and reclamation district in Grayson
County.  In 1983, the 68th Texas Legislature changed the name of the
district to the Greater Texoma Utility Authority (authority) and also
added Section 3A relating to bidding requirements, to provide guidance
regarding competitive bidding procedures.  Since 1983, the Texas Water
Code has been expanded to provide ample guidance for bidding procedures
for conservation and reclamation districts like the Greater Texoma Utility
Authority.  H.B. 1120 repeals Section 3A, Chapter 97, Acts of the 66th
Legislature Regular Session, 1979.
