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.
