AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

 

The East Montgomery County Municipal Utility Districts Nos. 5, 6, and 7 were created several years ago with initial defined boundaries. Interested parties note, however, that due to changes in the development plan for the land encompassed by the districts, it is necessary to adjust the boundaries of the East Montgomery County Municipal Utility Districts Nos. 6 and 7 to better serve the development.

 

H.B. 3910 amends current law relating to the boundaries of the East Montgomery County Municipal Utility Districts Nos. 6 and 7.
