Relating to the Angelina and Neches River Authority, following recommendations of the Sunset Advisory Commission; specifying grounds for the removal of a member of the board of directors.
HB 1520 requires new members of the Angelina and Neches River Authority board to complete mandatory training before voting. The training covers operations law, budget details, recent audits, ethics rules, and conflict-of-interest requirements. Directors must annually receive and acknowledge a training manual distributed by the authority's general manager. The bill also adjusts the authority's Sunset review schedule to prevent termination under Texas law.

MINOR
This bill was converted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final legislative text signed into law. The substantive policy content remains the same, with only formatting adjustments, removal of tracking markers, and addition of certification signatures and dates from the House and Senate. No new policies, funding, or requirements were added in this transition.
TECHNICAL
Removed tracking markers, line numbers, and draft annotations from the text to produce the final enrolled version ready for signing.
Added certification statements confirming passage by the House and Senate, along with signatures for the President of the Senate, Speaker of the House, Secretary of the Senate, and Governor.
Inserted a note at the top about digital content accessibility updates on TLO, which appears to be an administrative note rather than part of the bill text itself.
