            Senate Bill 625 amends the law to revise and update the governing provisions of the Nueces River Authority, following Sunset Advisory Commission recommendations. Among other provisions and in addition to across-the-board sunset provisions, the bill replaces the requirement that the authority's board of directors elect one of its members as board president with a requirement that the governor designate a board member as board president to serve in that capacity at the pleasure of the governor. The bill requires the authority to adopt and promptly publish on the authority's website a written, regularly updated five-year strategic plan.
