Relating to the creation of the Veale Ranch Municipal Management District No. 1; providing authority to issue bonds; providing authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes.
No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.
HB 4628 would create the Veale Ranch Municipal Management District No. 1 to promote, develop, encourage, and maintain employment, commerce, transportation, housing, tourism, recreation, the arts, entertainment, economic development, safety, and the public welfare in the district. The Senate Substitute made non substantial changes
The district this bill would create would be a part of a class of special districts known as Municipal Management Districts (MMD). This bill would grant municipal-type authority to a non-municipal entity, essentially creating a city within a city that lacks true accountability, which does support our liberty principles.
Creating this new management district grows the size, scope, and cost of government for the purpose of fulfilling functions outside of its proper role. For this reason, we oppose HB 4628
