Committee adopts committee substitute to make House Bill 5696 a template municipal utility district
Summary
Committee members adopted a committee substitute to convert House Bill 5696 into template MUD language and reported the substitute to the full Senate with a recommendation to pass. The substitute was adopted in lieu of the original bill and the committee recommended placement on the local uncontested calendar.
The Committee on Local Government adopted a committee substitute to House Bill 5696 and reported the substitute to the full Senate with the recommendation that it pass.
Senator Burwell previously explained the substitute, and Senator Paxton formally moved that the committee adopt the substitute in lieu of the original bill and report the substitute to the full Senate. The clerk called the roll; the committee recorded five ayes, zero nays and one member present not voting. Senator Middleton moved that the substitute be recommended for the local uncontested calendar; there was no objection.
No public testimony was recorded on the bill or the substitute during the committee hearing. The substitute makes the measure a template municipal utility district bill, removing special powers and simplifying legislative language before full Senate consideration.
