Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1925 amends the enabling statute of the Rolling Plains Groundwater Conservation District. It authorizes the district to assess production fees under general-law groundwater conservation district provisions of the Water Code. In place of the code's maximum fee amounts for production fees and export fees, the bill sets maximum amounts for each of the two fees assessed by the district at $1 per acre-foot for agricultural use and 17 cents per thousand gallons for nonagricultural use. The bill authorizes the district's board of directors to limit the compensation and expense reimbursement that a director may receive and prohibits any compensation for a director who holds another civil office of emolument. It removes a regulatory exemption applicable to certain wells in certain counties
