Enrolled Bill Summary

Senate Bill 757 amends the Water Code to provide that if a municipality's action results in part of a water quality protection zone being located outside the municipality's extraterritorial jurisdiction (ETJ), the entire zone is removed from the municipality's ETJ. The act prohibits a zone that has been removed from a municipality's ETJ from being brought back into the municipality's ETJ before the 20th anniversary of the date on which the zone was designated. The act also directs the Texas Natural Resource Conservation Commission to adopt and assess reasonable and necessary fees to recover the commission's cost in monitoring water quality in water quality protection zones.
