AUTHOR'S / SPONSOR'S STATEMENT OF INTENT

S.B. 3069 creates Montgomery County Management District No. 3 (district) located west of the intersection of Farrell Road and Seven Coves Road, being approximately 144 acres in Montgomery County, Texas, and originally located partially within the extraterritorial jurisdiction of the City of Conroe, Texas, and the City of Willis, Texas.

The land was subsequently removed from the extraterritorial jurisdiction of each city.  The bill would authorize the proposed district, if confirmed at an election, to finance the construction of facilities to provide water, wastewater, drainage, road and park and recreational services to the tract so that a residential and commercial development could be undertaken on the land proposed to be included within the proposed district.

The legislation contains the usual template provisions regarding the naming of directors for the proposed district, the powers of the proposed district, and general financial provisions.

As proposed, S.B. 3069 amends current law relating to the creation of the Montgomery County Management District No. 3, provides authority to issue bonds, and provides authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

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