Senate Bill 1950 changes the name of the Tri-County Groundwater Conservation District to the Gateway Groundwater Conservation District. The bill amends district boundaries, which were to have included Foard, Hardeman, and Wilbarger Counties, to include only Foard and Hardeman Counties. It provides for governance by a board of directors in the manner provided by Water Code general law applicable to groundwater conservation districts, with an equal number of members appointed by the county commissioners courts of each county in the district, and authorizes the district to add new territory in the manner provided by that general law. It amends and repeals other provisions of law to conform to the above changes and to re-specify whether, in the case of conflict or inconsistency, the Water Code prevails or the district's own enabling statute prevails.
