House Bill No. 3381 seeks to establish a prohibition against individuals simultaneously holding the positions of presiding officer of a property owners' association and president of a municipal utility district. The bill amends the Property Code by adding a new subsection (a-4) to Section 209.00591, which states that a person cannot serve as the presiding officer of a property owners' association if they are also serving as the president of a municipal utility district. Additionally, the Water Code is amended to include Section 54.103, which disqualifies a person from serving as president of a municipal utility district if they are the presiding officer of a property owners' association.

The provisions of this bill apply only 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 legislation aims to prevent potential conflicts of interest and ensure that individuals do not hold dual leadership roles that could compromise their responsibilities to either entity.
