BILL ANALYSIS

H.B. 3810

By: Alders

Land & Resource Management

Committee Report (Unamended)

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE

The legislature provided for the creation of the Rose City Municipal Utility District several years ago, but the bill author has informed the committee that, due to changes in state law and city planning, no confirmation election was held to fully create the district, and the need for the district no longer exists. H.B. 3810 seeks to address this issue by repealing the law that provided for the creation of the Rose City Municipal Utility District.

CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.

ANALYSIS

H.B. 3810 requires the directors of the Rose City Municipal Utility District (MUD) to wind up the MUD's affairs, including by filing any required dissolution documents with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The bill dissolves the MUD and extinguishes the terms of the MUD's directors on the 60th day after the bill's effective date.

H.B. 3810 repeals Chapter 7958 of the Special District Local Laws Code effective on the 61st day after the bill's effective date.

H.B. 3810 establishes that all applicable requirements relating to the following have been fulfilled and accomplished with respect to the bill:

· the legal notice of intention;

· governor action;

· TCEQ recommendations; and

· the state constitution and laws and legislative rules and procedures.
