Current law requires a regional water planning group's regional water plan to be consistent with the desired future conditions of the regional water planning area. Senate Bill 1101 amends the Water Code to require a regional water planning group, with regard to its regional water plan, to determine the supply of groundwater for regional planning purposes if no groundwater conservation district exists within the area of the regional water planning group. The bill requires a regional water plan to include consideration of potential impacts on public health, safety, or welfare in Texas with respect to existing regional water or drought planning efforts.
