Municipality’s Choice of District
(a)
If any part of a municipality, a part of which is included within the boundaries of the district, is included within the boundaries of one or more other groundwater conservation districts created by special Act of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001, and confirmed at a subsequent election called for the purpose, the municipality, not later than August 31, 2004, at an election called for the purpose, may vote to choose the one groundwater conservation district of which it will be a part.(b)
If, after a municipality has held an election authorized by Subsection (a), another groundwater conservation district created by special Act of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001, that includes any part of the municipality is confirmed at an election called for the purpose and if the district of which the municipality has chosen to be a part has not issued bonds secured by ad valorem taxes on any land within the boundaries of the municipality, the municipality may hold another election under this section to choose whether to remain within the groundwater conservation district of which it has chosen to be a part or to separate from that district and become part of the newly confirmed groundwater conservation district. The district may hold another election under this section, regardless of the number of previous elections under this section, at any time a district described by Subsection (a) is confirmed.(c)
Section 41.001 (Uniform Election Dates)(a), Election Code, does not apply to an election under this section.(d)
This section and the results of an election held under this section prevail over the provisions of any Act of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001, other than Chapter 1312, Acts of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001, regardless of the relative dates on which Chapter 1312, Acts of the 77th Legislature, Regular Session, 2001, and the other Act were enacted and became law.
