IN RE: | HB578 by Campbell (Relating to the inclusion in a regional water plan of information regarding water infrastructure facilities that may be used in an emergency shortage of water.), As Engrossed |
The bill would require that regional planning groups include in a regional plan submitted to the Texas Water Development Board information on major water infrastructure faciliteis that may be used for interconnnections in the event of an emergency shortage of water. However, this information would be exempt from disclosure laws under the public information law in Government Code, Chapter 552.
Any technical assistance the Water Development Board would provide to regional planning groups is expcted to be absorbed within the agency's existing budget.
