Senate Bill 1209 updates and revises provisions in Texas law relating to the Middle Trinity Groundwater Conservation District. The bill provides for the composition of the board and the election of directors following annexation of more than two counties by the district after January 1, 2009. The bill authorizes the board of directors of the district to change the number of directors elected from a county in the district for the purpose of equalizing representation of the residents in the district and moves the election date to the uniform election date in May of each even-numbered year, with certain exceptions. The bill sets forth provisions relating to the applicability and enforcement of district rules and authorizes the district to impose a fee on a person or entity for violation of a district rule or failure to comply with an order in addition to existing remedies.
