Bill Analysis

HB 4674 would create the Chambers County Municipal Utility District No. 2, subject to municipal consent and voter approval at a confirmation election. The bill would grant the district the power to undertake certain road projects, issue obligations, and impose certain taxes. The bill, if it does not receive a two-thirds vote of all members of each house, would prohibit the district from exercising the power of eminent domain.
