Bill Caption

Relating to notifying a state senator and state representative about the creation of a district and acquiring road powers for a district.

Bill Analysis

H.B. 3607 amends the Water Code to require the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ), on receiving an application for the creation of a district under Chapter 36, 50, 51, 54, 55, 58,65, or 66  by TCEQ, to send notice of the application to the state senator and state representative who represent the area in which the district is or will be located. The bill would require TCEQ if they approve a petition for a municipal utility district to acquire road powers to notify the state senator and state representative who represent the area in which the district is located.

Vote Recommendation Notes

This bill would make mostly administrative, clerical, and non-substantive updates to current code with no discernible connection to our liberty principles, therefore we are neutral on HB 3607.
