SRC-JLB S.B. 372 78(R) BILL ANALYSIS Senate Research Center S.B. 372 78R3162 RCJ-FBy: Lindsay Natural Resources 3/3/2003 As Filed DIGEST AND PURPOSE Currently, Section 14(b), Chapter 1383, Acts of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001, provides for the creation of Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 388 and requires that the creation of the district be confirmed before September 1, 2003; otherwise, the legislation expires on said date. However, development has been delayed by regulatory and planning constraints, and it may not be possible to call and conduct a confirmation election within the district prior to September 1, 2003. As proposed, S.B. 372 extends the date for expiration of the legislation and the conduct of a confirmation election until September 1, 2006, to afford sufficient time for commencing development, and calling for and conducting such election. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency. SECTION BY SECTION ANALYSIS SECTION 1.
