AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

The 86th Legislature, Regular Session, 2019, passed H.B. 4734, creating the Green Tree Park Municipal Utility District. The district was originally intended for the development of a single-family home community. After the district's creation, however, the original owner sold the property to another developer. Constituents have expressed concerns regarding the new ownership and wish to dissolve the district. H.B. 3301 seeks to address this issue by providing for the district's dissolution.

H.B. 3301 amends current law relating to the dissolution of the Green Tree Park Municipal Utility District.
