AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

 

S.B. 629, 82nd Legislature, Regular Session, 2011, provided for additional powers for the Ranch at Clear Fork Creek Municipal Utility District No. 1 and added an additional 1136.29 acres to the district.

 

There was a dispute as to whether 203.47 of the 1136.29 acres are in the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of San Marcos or the City of Uhland.  That is an issue for the two cities to resolve.

 

C.S.S.B. 1075 amends current law relating to the addition of land in the territory of the Ranch at Clear Fork Creek Municipal Utility District No. 1.

 

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

 

This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.
