HB 2068 focuses on the governance and territorial expansion of the Harris County Flood Control District. The bill modifies existing law to allow adjacent counties to petition for inclusion in the district, subject to approval by the district's governing board and a local voter referendum. It also restructures the district's governance, replacing the Harris County Commissioners Court with a five-member board appointed by the governor. The bill further grants the district authority to acquire property, issue bonds, and undertake flood control projects while ensuring compliance with applicable state laws.
