The bill establishes the Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 258, granting it limited powers such as eminent domain, bond issuance, and the ability to impose assessments, fees, and taxes. It introduces Chapter 8003A to the Special District Local Laws Code, detailing the governance structure with a board of five elected directors serving staggered four-year terms. The bill requires temporary directors to hold an election to confirm the district's creation and elect permanent directors, contingent upon obtaining consent from relevant municipalities. The district will have the authority to design, construct, and maintain road projects, with specific financial provisions for issuing bonds and the necessity for voter approval for certain tax-related actions.

A key provision of the bill is the insertion of new legal language that prohibits the district from exercising the power of eminent domain without the owner's consent, as outlined in Section 8003A.0307. The initial territory of the district covers approximately 415.36 acres in Montgomery County, Texas, with detailed descriptions of land tracts and boundaries included in the bill. The legislation will take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
