HB 4583 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the dissolution of a public utility agency.

HB 4583 allows cities or counties participating in a public utility agency to formally dissolve the agency through local ordinances. It enables participating entities to either add or remove members from the agency or, if all members agree, dissolve the agency entirely and transfer all its assets, debts, permits, and licenses to the remaining entities. The bill specifically permits a single remaining entity to dissolve the agency on its own. This procedural change applies only to local government management of utility agencies and does not affect utility rates, services, or residents. The bill takes effect September 1, 2025.
