Relating to public improvement districts located in certain municipalities.

HB 4078 establishes new rules for public improvement districts in downtown or central business areas of Texas municipalities with 900,000-2,000,000 residents. It requires these districts (specifically the largest one in each qualifying city as of January 1, 2025) to exist in perpetuity unless the Legislature terminates them. The bill mandates that cities contract with a nonprofit "management organization" to handle supplemental services and improvements, defining strict requirements for these organizations (e.g., seven directors with staggered terms). Crucially, it clarifies these districts are supplemental to, not replacements for, existing city and county services.
