Senate Bill 1080 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to require the Lost Pines Groundwater Conservation District to establish a mitigation program to address excessive drawdown of an aquifer or subdivision of an aquifer in the district that results either in the potentiometric surface being below a desired future condition or in nonproductive wells. The bill sets out provisions relating to the program and revises provisions relating to district fees.
Governor's Reason for Veto: "While creating a mitigation plan for a single groundwater conservation district is important, it is simply not as important as cutting property taxes. This bill can be reconsidered at a future special session only after property tax relief is passed."
