Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 1935 adds a new Water Code title relating to surface water authorities, codifies within that title the enabling laws governing the Lower Colorado River Authority and the Brazos River Authority, and repeals uncodified session laws on the two authorities. The codifications include various technical changes. The main substantive change, for both authorities, is to empower the governor to designate the chair of the board of directors, who serves at the governor's pleasure. Previously, board members selected their chair.
