Relating to the election of the board of directors of the San Jacinto River Authority.

HB 5005 changes how the San Jacinto River Authority's board of directors is elected. It replaces the previous system where the governor appointed directors with a system requiring all seven board members to be elected directly by voters in the district. The bill also specifies that four of these members must be residents of counties fully within the district, while all directors must remain freehold property taxpayers and legal voters in Texas. This procedural change affects the election process for the board, which governs water management services in the San Jacinto River Authority's area.
