S.B. No. 3057 proposes the establishment of the River Ranch Municipal Utility District No. 1 in Texas, granting it limited powers of eminent domain, the ability to issue bonds, and the authority to impose assessments, fees, and taxes. The bill introduces Chapter 8004A to the Special District Local Laws Code, which outlines the governance structure of the district, including a board of five elected directors serving staggered four-year terms. It details the district's powers and duties, such as designing, constructing, and maintaining road projects, and specifies the conditions under which the district can issue bonds and impose taxes. Notably, the bill includes a new section that explicitly states the district may not exercise the power of eminent domain, clarifying the limitations on its authority.

Additionally, the bill introduces several new tracts of land in Williamson County, Texas, identified as Tracts 2 through 20, with precise legal descriptions and boundaries based on existing surveys. Each tract is detailed with metes and bounds to ensure clear property lines and ownership. The new tracts include various sizes, such as Tract 6, which encompasses 532.411 acres, and Tract 14, which covers 98.03 acres. The bill aims to enhance property rights and local governance by ensuring accurate land records and resolving any ambiguities regarding property boundaries. The legislation is set to take effect immediately upon receiving a two-thirds vote from both houses or on September 1, 2025, if such a vote is not achieved.
