A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
AN ACT
relating to a conservation and reclamation district's use of money
received under a contract with a municipality.
BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
SECTION 1. Subchapter H, Chapter 49, Water Code, is amended
by adding Section 49.2145 to read as follows:
Sec. 49.2145. USE OF MONEY RECEIVED UNDER CERTAIN
CONTRACTS. A district that receives money from a municipality
under the terms of a contract with the municipality, including a
strategic partnership agreement authorized by Section 43.0751,
Local Government Code, may use the money for any purpose of the
district or the municipality, unless the contract requires the
district to use the money for a specified purpose. For purposes of
this chapter, a district purpose includes a municipal purpose for
which money is used under this section.
SECTION 2. The change in law made by this Act applies only
to a contract between a municipality and a conservation and
reclamation district entered into on or after the effective date of
this Act. A contract entered into before the effective date of this
Act is covered by the law in effect on the date the contract was
entered into, and the former law is continued in effect for that
purpose.
SECTION 3. This Act takes effect immediately if it receives
a vote of two-thirds of all the members elected to each house, as
provided by Section 39, Article III, Texas Constitution. If this
Act does not receive the vote necessary for immediate effect, this
Act takes effect September 1, 2005.
