SB 3063 would create the Bayou Belle Municipal Management District No. 1 in Liberty County, Texas. The district would have limited authority to use eminent domain for public projects, issue bonds for financing, and collect assessments, fees, or taxes from property owners within its boundaries. Its purpose is to promote economic development, including job creation, tourism, transportation, and public safety, while supplementing rather than replacing existing county services. The bill establishes governance through a board of directors and aligns with constitutional provisions for special districts focused on community welfare.
