A BILL TO BE ENTITLED
 
AN ACT
  relating to the incontestability of certain contracts or leases
  submitted to the attorney general by certain water districts.
         BE IT ENACTED BY THE LEGISLATURE OF THE STATE OF TEXAS:
         SECTION 1.  Section 49.184(e), Water Code, is amended to
  read as follows:
         (e)  A contract or lease in which the proceeds of the
  contract or lease are pledged to the payment of a bond may be
  submitted to the attorney general along with the bond records, and,
  if submitted, the approval by the attorney general of the bonds
  shall constitute an approval of the contract or lease and the
  contract or lease shall be incontestable.  A contract or lease,
  other than a contract or lease in which the proceeds of the contract
  or lease are pledged to the payment of a bond, may be submitted to
  the attorney general along with the bond records, and, if reviewed
  and approved by the attorney general, the approval of the bonds
  shall constitute an approval of the contract or lease and the
  contract or lease shall be incontestable.
         SECTION 2.  The change in law made by this Act applies only
  to a contract or lease submitted by a water district under Section
  49.184, Water Code, as amended by this Act, to the attorney general
  after the effective date of this Act.  A contract or lease submitted
  to the attorney general before the effective date of this Act is
  governed by the law in effect at the time the contract or lease is
  submitted, and that law is continued in effect for that purpose.
         SECTION 3.  This Act takes effect September 1, 2017.
