HB 2561 sets new rules for municipal utility district (MUD) board meetings, requiring boards to designate at least one public meeting place within the district. If no suitable location is available, meetings may be held outside the district only if it does not deprive residents of reasonable access. The bill mandates public notice and justification for any meeting location outside district boundaries. It also grants the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) authority to oversee compliance.
