H.B. No. 1930 amends the qualifications for serving as a director on the board of certain municipal utility districts in Texas. The bill specifies that to qualify, a person must be at least 18 years old, a resident citizen of Texas, and either own land subject to taxation in the district or be a qualified voter within the district. Additionally, the bill introduces a new section, 54.103, which applies specifically to districts located in counties that border the United Mexican States and contain a municipality with a population exceeding 500,000. For these districts, a director must meet the first two qualifications from Section 54.102 and must also be a qualified voter within the district.

The bill ensures that current members of the board serving before the effective date of the Act can continue their terms without interruption, while the new qualifications will apply only to those elected or appointed after the Act's effective date. The Act is set to take effect on September 1, 2025.
