Relating to the creation and operation of a science park district in certain counties that may impose assessments, fees, and taxes.

SB 2828 establishes a new type of district in Texas counties with populations of 800,000 or more (or adjacent to such counties) to develop science parks. Landowners owning 1,000+ contiguous acres can petition the state economic development office to create a district, which would then have the authority to charge fees and taxes. The district must promote scientific research, technology innovation, company growth, infrastructure development, and collaboration between universities, businesses, and government. This bill creates a formal framework for these districts but does not require them to be established - only outlines how they would operate if approved.
