Relating to the Lower Neches Valley Authority, following recommendations of the Sunset Advisory Commission; specifying grounds for the removal of a member of the board of directors.

HB 1525 modifies governance rules for the Lower Neches Valley Authority (LNVA), a water management entity serving southeastern Texas. It requires new board members to complete mandatory training before voting or attending meetings, ensures board members maintain required qualifications, and specifies five clear grounds for removal (e.g., missing over half of meetings without approval, violating ethics laws, or failing to meet qualifications). The bill also establishes a Sunset Review process every 12 years starting in 2025, ensuring ongoing oversight without abolishing the authority. These changes directly affect LNVA board members and their accountability.
