HB 1530 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Relating to the Sabine River Authority of Texas, following recommendations of the Sunset Advisory Commission; specifying grounds for the removal of a member of the board of directors.

HB 1530 specifies five clear reasons for removing a member of the Sabine River Authority of Texas board, including failing to maintain required qualifications, violating ethics laws, being unable to serve due to disability, or missing more than half of scheduled meetings without approval. The bill also requires the district manager to notify the board president if removal grounds exist, who then must inform the governor and attorney general. This update follows Sunset Advisory Commission recommendations and modifies existing board governance rules without changing the authority's core water management functions. The bill focuses on board accountability and procedural clarity for the Sabine River Authority, which oversees water resources in East Texas.
