Current law prohibits the importation, possession, sale, or placement into the public water of Texas of certain exotic harmful or potentially harmful fish, shellfish, or aquatic plants except as authorized by a rule of the Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission or by a permit issued by the Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD). House Bill 1919 amends the Parks and Wildlife Code to prohibit TPWD from requiring such a permit for a water transfer that is undertaken by a utility owned by a political subdivision, that is transferred through a water supply system, and that meets certain other described criteria and conditions.
