Relating to the notice and petition for the creation of a municipal utility district in certain counties.
SB 102 requires county commissioners courts in certain Texas counties to receive 30 days' advance notice by certified mail before a petition for a new municipal utility district is filed. The notice must detail proposed district boundaries (using specific property descriptions) and inform counties of their right to respond, review the petition, and submit written opinions. This bill amends the Water Code to add these procedural requirements for district creation petitions filed with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality after its effective date. It directly affects county officials and petitioners seeking to establish utility districts, ensuring counties have a formal opportunity to engage before district formation begins.
