AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
The Fort Bend Municipal Utility District No. 182 (district) was created by the legislature in 2007 and encompasses an area of land within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Fulshear, Fort Bend County, Texas. The creation bill provided the district with standard road powers, but limited those powers to the area inside the district. The proposed bill authorizes the district to undertake road projects both inside and outside the district, allowing the district to address all road impacts related to development in the district.
As proposed, S.B. 997 amends current law relating to the road powers of the Fort Bend County Municipal Utility District No. 182.
