Senate Bill 2513 amends the Special District Local Laws Code to change the name of the McLennan County Groundwater Conservation District to the Southern Trinity Groundwater Conservation District and to establish that the district is located in a priority groundwater management area designated by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). The bill extends the expiration date of temporary provisions relating to temporary directors and a district confirmation election from September 1, 2012, to December 31, 2013, and updates the terms of the temporary directors. The bill authorizes the district to assess fees for services or production fees based on the amount of groundwater withdrawn from a well on a permit and establishes the authorized uses and limitations on the amount of the fees. Senate Bill 2513 prohibits TCEQ from creating, before September 1, 2011, a groundwater conservation district in the priority groundwater management area or adjacent to the priority groundwater management area in which the district is located.
