S.B. No. 3056 establishes the Alluvium Ranch Municipal Management District No. 1 in Texas, which is tasked with promoting economic development and providing essential services such as water, wastewater, drainage, and recreational facilities. The bill introduces Chapter 4014 to the Special District Local Laws Code, detailing the district's governance by a board of five elected directors serving staggered four-year terms. The district is designed to supplement existing city or county services and is empowered to issue bonds, impose assessments, and engage in various activities, including creating nonprofit corporations and contracting for law enforcement services. The bill also outlines the district's boundaries and eligibility for inclusion in tax increment reinvestment zones. A significant provision of the bill is the introduction of Sec. 4014.0312. NO EMINENT DOMAIN POWER. The district may not exercise the power of eminent domain. This clause explicitly prohibits the district from taking private property for public use without the owner's consent. The bill also sets forth requirements for financing improvements through property owner petitions and mandates that any new district formed from existing ones must hold an election for voter approval before imposing a maintenance tax. The bill has successfully passed both legislative houses, with the Senate voting 27-4 and the House voting 96-44, and includes provisions for its effective date based on legislative approval.
