Relating to the engineering feasibility and construction of a reservoir.
HB 2114 amends Texas Water Code to prohibit engineering firms that assisted in preparing state or regional water plans from later participating in constructing reservoirs under these plans. This prevents conflicts of interest by barring firms that advised on water planning from also building projects based on those plans. The law takes effect September 1, 2025, and directly affects engineering firms contracted for water planning work.
