House Bill 2063 amends the Water Code to clarify that a groundwater conservation district may enforce its rules against any person, including a governmental entity, by injunction, mandatory injunction, or other appropriate remedy in a court of competent jurisdiction. The bill establishes that, in an enforcement action by a district against a governmental entity for a violation of district rules, statutory limits on the amount of fees, costs, and penalties the district may impose constitute a limit of liability of the governmental entity for the violation. The bill provides that the saving provisions of the Code Construction Act apply to the bill's amendments to the Water Code.
