S.B. 368 78(R)    BILL ANALYSIS


S.B. 368
By: Lindsay
Natural Resources
Committee Report (Unamended)



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

Currently, Kuykendahl Road Public Utility District No. 2 (district) is not
activated and is no longer owned by the landowners originally benefitted
by the creation of the district. All of the property is now owned by the
Woodlands Land Development Company, L.P. Overlapping or adjacent municipal
utility districts have been recently created to serve all of the functions
and purposes of the district. The district has no assets, liabilities, or
obligations and has issued no bonds. As proposed, S.B. 368 dissolves and
abolishes the district without the delays and expenses associated with
filing prosecuting dissolution proceedings with the Texas Commission on
Environmental Quality under Chapter 49, Texas Water Code. 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any
