Senate Bill 914 |
Senate Author: Wentworth |
|
Effective: 5-9-11 |
House Sponsor: Miller, Doug |
Current law prohibits a water district from issuing bonds unless the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality determines that the project to be financed by the bonds is feasible and issues an order approving the issuance of the bonds. Senate Bill 914 amends the Water Code to include as an entity exempt from that prohibition a conservation and reclamation district that includes territory in at least three counties and has the rights, powers, privileges, and functions applicable to a river authority under the Regional Waste Disposal Act.
