IN RE: | SB370 by Seliger (Relating to the authority of the Texas Water Development Board to provide financial assistance for certain projects if the applicant has failed to complete a request for information relevant to the project.), As Introduced |
The bill would reduce funding options available from the Water Development Board if an applicant has failed to satisfactorily complete a request by the Executive Administrator or a regional planning group for information relevant to the project, including a water infrastructure financing survey.
The Water Development Board indicates it could absorb the costs associated with the bill within its current resources.
The bill would take effect immediately if it receives a vote of two-thirds of all members elected to each house; otherwise it would take effect September 1, 2011.
