Senate Bill 1911 creates the following groundwater conservation districts: Cow Creek, Brazos Valley, Crossroads, Hays Trinity, Lone Wolf, Lost Pines, McMullen, Middle Pecos, Red Sands, Refugio, Southeast Trinity, Texana, and Tri-County. The act sets out the boundaries of each district, establishes the authority of temporary directors, and establishes provisions regarding voter confirmation and election of the initial permanent directors.
Senate Bill 1911 prohibits a temporary board of directors from holding a confirmation and initial directors election and from adopting a comprehensive management plan before September 1, 2001. The act also prohibits an election from being held unless the 77th Legislature ratifies the creation of the groundwater conservation district. Any district created by this act and not ratified by the 77th Legislature is dissolved as of September 1, 2001, unless a district must be maintained after that date until all its debts are paid, after which it is then dissolved.
