House Bill 3568 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to create the San Patricio County Groundwater Conservation District (GCD), subject to dissolution if not confirmed by voters before September 1, 2007. It limits the district to an ad valorem tax rate not to exceed five cents per $100 of assessed taxable value. The bill provides that to the extent that the district's boundaries overlap with the boundaries of an aquifer storage and recovery conservation district, the power and authority of the two districts are joint and coextensive and the San Patricio County GCD may not limit or restrict the other district from recovering water it has stored in a municipal aquifer storage area located in the San Patricio County GCD.
