Relating to the San Antonio River Authority.
HB 2692 establishes Chapter 8513 in Texas law specifically for the San Antonio River Authority (SARA). It defines key terms (like "Authority," "Board," and "San Antonio River Basin"), confirms SARA's status as a conservation and reclamation district under the Texas Constitution, and sets its territory to include Bexar, Wilson, Karnes, and Goliad Counties. The bill also requires a Sunset Review of SARA in 2035 (and every 12 years after) and clarifies that SARA's powers do not override the Guadalupe-Blanco River Authority without consent. This is a procedural bill that formalizes SARA's legal structure and boundaries without creating new policies or funding.

MINOR
The bill text was reformatted from an 'Engrossed' version to an 'Enrolled' version, which is the final version sent to the Governor for signature. The substantive content of the San Antonio River Authority legislation remains unchanged, with only formatting adjustments, spacing corrections, and removal of metadata like bill numbers and page headers. No new policy provisions, funding, eligibility criteria, or dates were added or removed.
TECHNICAL
Formatting and layout were standardized to match the enrolled bill format, including removal of metadata headers, page numbers, and session identifiers.
Spacing and indentation were corrected throughout the text to improve readability and consistency.
A note about digital content accessibility updates (WCAG 2.1) was inserted at the top, which is administrative and not part of the bill's legal text.
