H.B. No. 3379 amends Section 49.103 of the Water Code to establish uniform election dates for municipal utility districts. The bill introduces a new Subsection (b-1), which mandates that elections for municipal utility districts be held on the uniform election date specified in Section 41.001 of the Election Code. Specifically, these elections will occur in November of each even-numbered year to elect the appropriate number of directors. This change aims to standardize the election schedule for these districts, ensuring consistency across the state.
Additionally, the bill clarifies that unless a district holds its general election for officers on a different date as provided by statute, elections will be held in May of each even-numbered year. The effective date for this legislation is set for September 1, 2025.
