TO:	Honorable Charles Perry, Chair, Senate Committee on Water & Rural Affairs
FROM:	John McGeady, Assistant Director     Sarah Keyton, Assistant Director Legislative Budget Board
IN RE:	SB2331 by Creighton (Relating to requirements for programs of water conservation and water conservation plans.), Committee Report 1st House, Substituted

No significant fiscal implication to the State is anticipated.

The bill would amend the Water Code to require water conservation plans for all financial assistance programs offered by the Texas Water Development Board (TWDB). According to TWDB, the bill would have minimal impact on the agency as it does not substantively change most water conservation plan requirements, and the agency could implement the provisions of the bill could be implemented with existing resources.

Local Government Impact

No significant fiscal implication to units of local government is anticipated.
