H.B. No. 5662 establishes new provisions for the Fort Bend County Water Control and Improvement District No. 12, specifically regarding its authority to manage road projects. The bill introduces Chapter 9096 to the Special District Local Laws Code, which outlines the district's purpose, including the construction, acquisition, and maintenance of roads and related improvements such as storm drainage. It grants the district the authority to design, finance, and issue bonds for these road projects, ensuring that they meet applicable construction standards and regulations set by local municipalities or counties.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the total principal amount of bonds issued for financing road projects cannot exceed one-fourth of the assessed value of the real property within the district. The legislation also includes provisions for the necessary legal notices and compliance with constitutional requirements for its introduction and passage. The act is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if that threshold is not met.
