            House Bill 3995 changes annexation procedures for the Collingsworth County Underground Water Conservation District (CCUWCD) from those set out in general-law Water Code provisions for water districts generally to those set out in general-law Water Code provisions for groundwater conservation districts specifically.  The bill gives the board of directors of the CCUWCD the discretion, if it annexes additional territory, to add additional single-member election districts, for purposes of choosing directors, up to a maximum of 11 single-member election districts.  It also authorizes the board of directors, by resolution, to change the name of the CCUWCD, and repeals certain obsolete portions of the district's enabling law.
