H.B. No. 5666 establishes the Fenske Road Municipal Utility District in Harris County, granting it limited powers of eminent domain and the authority to issue bonds, impose assessments, fees, and taxes. The bill introduces Chapter 7901A to the Special District Local Laws Code, which includes provisions for the governance of the district, such as the election of a board of directors and the requirement for municipal consent prior to elections. The district is intended to serve a public purpose by facilitating the construction and maintenance of roads and related improvements, with an initial territory of approximately 33.7594 acres. A significant provision of the bill is the introduction of Sec. 7901A.0307. which states that the district may not exercise the power of eminent domain. This clarification limits the district's authority regarding property acquisition. The bill also outlines the procedural requirements that have been met, including legal notice publication and recommendations from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. The bill will take effect immediately if it receives a two-thirds vote from all elected members in both houses; otherwise, it will become effective on September 1, 2025.
