Bill Analysis

HB 2938 would give the Sienna Plantation Levee Improvement District certain exceptions to bond issuing procedures regarding compliance with the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission. However, the outstanding principal amount of bonds, notes, and other obligations issued to finance parks and recreational facilities may not exceed an amount equal to two percent of the taxable property in the district.

Vote Recommendation Notes

Due to the limited local nature of this bill and it's apparent lack of connection to our liberty principles, we remain neutral on this legislation.
