House Bill 1923 amends the law creating the Irion County Water Conservation District. The bill makes changes to accommodate the annexation of territory or consolidation with another district. The bill moves the election date for directors from the first Saturday in April of each year to the uniform election date in May, increases the term of office of directors from two years to four years, and aligns the amount of compensation a director is entitled to receive for each day the director is engaged in district business with the fees of office specified in the Water Code. The bill modifies the district's purpose and authority to that of a groundwater conservation district rather than a water control and improvement district. The bill revises provisions relating to dates of board meetings, appointments of a treasurer and attorney for the district, a bond requirement for the general manager of the district, and the adoption of a district seal.
