The bill, H.B. No. 3381, seeks to establish a prohibition against individuals serving simultaneously as the presiding officer of a property owners' association and as the president of a municipal utility district. To implement this, the bill amends the Property Code by adding a new subsection (a-4) to Section 209.00591, which states that a person cannot hold both positions at the same time. Additionally, the Water Code is amended to include a new section, 54.103, which disqualifies a person from serving as president of a municipal utility district if they are already serving as the presiding officer of a property owners' association.

The provisions of this bill will only apply to individuals who are elected or appointed to these positions on or after the effective date of the Act, which is set for September 1, 2025. This legislative change aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and ensure that individuals in these roles can dedicate their attention and responsibilities to one position at a time.
