BILL ANALYSIS
Senate Research Center S.B. 429
By: Lindsay
AUTHOR'S/SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
The Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 387 was created by the 77th Legislature in anticipation of growth in the area. The legislation establishing the district provided a specific date of September 1, 2006, by which the district had to be confirmed by an election. Because the pace of development has not advanced as quickly as anticipated, the election cannot occur by that date. S.B. 429 provides an open date for the confirmation election to occur.
