DIGEST 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.
