AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT
Spectrum Management District, also known as the Lower Kirby Pearland Management District (district), was created by the Texas Legislature in 2007.
The Act creating the district is codified as Chapter 3840, Special District Local Laws Code. To the extent not otherwise in conflict with the Chapter 3840, the district operates under Chapter 375, Local Government Code.
Section 3840.053 of the district’s enabling legislation provides that Section 49.052 of the Water Code, relating to director disqualification standards, does not apply to the district. S.B. 2038 repeals this exemption from Section 49.052 of the Water Code, meaning director disqualification standards that apply to similar districts would apply to the district.
S.B. 2038 amends current law relating to the qualifications of directors of the Spectrum Management District.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
This bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, institution, or agency.
