BILL ANALYSIS C.S.H.B. 4175 By: Thompson, Senfronia Special Purpose Districts Committee Report (Substituted) BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The comptroller of public accounts collects information from entities authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain in order to compile a list of those entities and the legal authority granting eminent domain power to each entity. The goal of C.S.H.B. 4175 is to ensure that the comptroller has accurate information regarding certain conservation and reclamation districts that are authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain. CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision. RULEMAKING AUTHORITY It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution. ANALYSIS C.S.H.B. 4175 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to authorize the following districts to exercise the power of eminent domain as provided by law applicable to the district on or after the 90th day after the date the district submits a letter to the comptroller of public accounts stating that the district is authorized by the state to exercise the power of eminent domain and identifying each provision of law that grants the district that authority if the district submits the letter by certified mail, return receipt requested, not later than December 31, 2015: Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 5 of Harris County Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 61 Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 150 Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 211 of Harris County Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 483 Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 484 Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 485 Liberty County Municipal Utility District No. 2 Liberty County Municipal Utility District No. 3 Post Wood Municipal Utility District West Park Municipal Utility District East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 8 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 9 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 10 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 11 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 12 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 13 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 14 Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 100 Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 101 Encanto Real Utility District Liberty County Municipal Utility District No. 5 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 3 Harris County Municipal Utility District No. 233 CNP Utility District Harris County Utility District No. 16 East Montgomery County Municipal Utility District No. 4 Harris County Water Control and Improvement District No. 119 EFFECTIVE DATE If the bill receives the necessary vote, September 1, 2015.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE
The comptroller of public accounts collects information from entities authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain in order to compile a list of those entities and the legal authority granting eminent domain power to each entity. The goal of C.S.H.B. 4175 is to ensure that the comptroller has accurate information regarding certain conservation and reclamation districts that are authorized to exercise the power of eminent domain.
CRIMINAL JUSTICE IMPACT
It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly create a criminal offense, increase the punishment for an existing criminal offense or category of offenses, or change the eligibility of a person for community supervision, parole, or mandatory supervision.
RULEMAKING AUTHORITY
It is the committee's opinion that this bill does not expressly grant any additional rulemaking authority to a state officer, department, agency, or institution.
