Introduced



BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE 

The Texas Water Rights Commission by court order converted Kaufman County
Levee Improvement District No. 4 to the Kaufman County Municipality Utility
District No. 1 in 1975 for the purpose of supplying water as well as flood
control in a defined area in Kaufman County.  The district does not and is
not planning to supply water to any area in Kaufman County.  House Bill
2761 converts the Municipality Utility District No.1 to the Kaufman County
Levee Improvement District No. 4.   

RULEMAKING AUTHORITY

It is the opinion of the Office of House Bill Analysis that this bill does
not expressly delegate any additional rulemaking authority to a state
officer, department, agency, or institution. 

ANALYSIS

House Bill 2761 converts the Kaufman County Municipal Utility District No.
1 to become the Kaufman County Levee Improvement District No. 4, and
provides that the district is subject to law regarding levee improvement
districts.  The bill requires the Commissioners Court of Kaufman County to
appoint the district's board of directors. 

EFFECTIVE DATE

September 1, 2001.
