S.B. No. 3051 proposes the creation of the Grassland Municipal Utility District No. 1 in Collin County, Texas, granting it limited powers such as eminent domain, the authority to issue bonds, and the ability to impose assessments, fees, and taxes. The bill outlines the election process for a board of directors, initially comprising five temporary directors until permanent ones are elected. It emphasizes the district's public purpose, which includes the construction and maintenance of roads and related improvements, and requires municipal consent for its establishment.

A significant aspect of the bill is the introduction of new legal language that explicitly states the district may not exercise the power of eminent domain, as detailed in Section 8021A.0307. This provision clarifies the limitations on the district's authority regarding the taking of private property. The bill also details procedural requirements that have been met prior to its introduction, including legal notices and recommendations from the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality. It is designed to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if not.
